I'm not sure that something like this should be in libtiff "core". Personally, I 
would prefer a light-weight library for loading tiff images. Perhaps this 
belongs in another lib/layer that sits on top of libtiff? Is this functionality 
that you need within the library itself or just some add-on utility that you can 
use from time to time (eg. option in tiffcp).
