Thom,

The http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff site is the primary home of 
libtiff now. The www.libtiff dot org
web site was taken over by domain pirates and sold to a fellow who uses 
it's positive karma to
manipulate google page ranks.

The libtiff source in CVS is still going through some revision to deal 
with the new C++ stream
interface. It should (hopefully) be portable before 3.7.1 is released.

I believe the above is fixed in GDAL CVS now.
