What is the difference between tiff_config.h and Tiffconf.h

If their purpose is same why are both included in the libtiff source?

The purpose is described at the top of tiffconf.h:

   Configuration defines for installed libtiff.
   This file maintained for backward compatibility. Do not use definitions
   from this file in your programs.

So one of them is a legacy header which must continue to exist in order for existing (legacy) applications to continue to compile.
