I understand your reasoning and you are most probably right. As for the static version of the library, I still think it would be a worthwhile insertion. The building of other projects needs a static version of the tiff library, and as it is the dynamic library is overwritten by the static library when built with 'cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF’. This insertion would enable the coexistence of both libraries inside the same directory.

if(MSVC)
set(CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_SUFFIX "-static.lib")
endif(MSVC)

Resulting in 'tiff-static.lib'.

What do you think?
