Excellent!  :-)

The documentation is in the CVS repository; see second answer for more
details.  I do notice that the comma funcionality is not explained very much
in 'libtiff/man/tiffcp.1.html', and in particular, no mention is made of the
trailing-comma-for-all-remaining-images usage, so that could be a nice
addition also.

Start here http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/internals.html to get
familiar with types, conventions, etc.

You'll need a CVS-compatible client (on W, try WinCVS or TortoiseCVS) to
copy the source code to your local machine ("check out"), add the
functionality, test it thoroughly, and submit to the repository ("check in"
AKA "commit").  To commit, you'll need a login; to get one, maybe contact
Joris, Frank, Andrey, or Mike.  For your first change, you might just want
to post your diff/patch to the list (if it's not too large), or send a copy
to whomever is admin-ing the CVS.

The checkout instructions are listed in on the main page (
http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/ ) under "Anonymous CVS".

Always a pleasure.
