We do intend to implement bigtiff support in libtiff, but it is awaiting a settling down of existing libtiff work - perhaps soon after the 3.7.1 release. I would add that implementing bigtiff inlibtiff it isn't a job that is efficiently shared amoung several developers. This is the reason, I haven't delved in myself since I can't really commit the time to do a good implementation of it myself. I prefer to wait for Andrey even though the wait is painful. :-) I have been wanting BigTIFF for quite a few years.
