Jeff, I believe that Andrey has already made it easy to build libtiff this way by uncommenting the USE_WIN_CRT_LIB macro in the nmake.opt file. This causes tif_unix.c to be built in instead of tif_win32.c. I personally am not convinced of the value of using the unix code by default on win32. Andrey might feel otherwise.
