[Geotiff] A trivial Makefile.am patch + Fedora mingw32 packages

I've found the the SVN trunk appears to be slightly broken when issued a
"make dist" command - the .csv files aren't included in the resulting
geotiff.tar.gz as I believe they should.  This trivial patch fixes that:

Secondly, I'm working on an app that I'd like to cross-compile with
Fedora's mingw32 system.  To that end, I've got a mingw32-libgeotiff
package working just fine and wanted to have it submitted to Fedora as a
maintained package.  I'm happy to do this myself if necessary, but I
thought I'd ask if there was a better person to handle this to avoid
stepping on any toes.

Thirdly, I've found that the autotools build system in the latest
release (1.2.5) is a bit painful to cross-compile.  The latest SVN
revision appears to have a re-vamped build system that works
beautifully.  Is there any urgent reason that I should be working from
v1.2.5 instead of svn revision 1611 (or 1612 if the above patch gets
merged)?

Thanks - and thanks for all your fine work to date.  My app might not
exist today had I not seen that there was a geotiff library available to
start from.
