[ELGIS] How to enable BigTiff on Centos 6?

[Volker Fröhlich]

Could be because it involves some work and capacity to build everything 
upon libtiff4 too. Many packages link to libtiff directly and they'd all 
need to be rebuilt and shipped in a non-conflicting way somehow.

Saying that, it seems like libtiff4 itself has various conflicts on the 
file level. That means, you can either install EL's libtiff or install 
libtiff4, breaking everything in your distribution that links to 
libtiff, and that's probably a lot!
