I strongly disagree.  One of the nice things about libtiff is that it
isn't cluttered up with all sorts of autoconf garbage, so it's actually
straightforward to compile on platforms that autoconf doesn't support.
(Like, say, MacOS with CodeWarrior.)

autoconf only works well if you assume all the world is Unix.
