If a function no longer has any use, we should simply delete it since this is the time to do so. To me "deprecate" means that the function continues to work, but that code should move away from it.

In GraphicsMagick, the only define I am using which identifies a feature in libtiff 4.0 is TIFF_VERSION_BIG. The cases should be very rare that perfectly written code should care about which library version is being used.

I do agree that the versioning info is rather lame.
