Johan,

I think we just need clarification on what the change does. After
looking at your repo I see you don't have gdal in there and are just
pulling an alternate build of SAGA. If this has 0 effect on other
packages then it should be safe.

The whole GDAL libtiff thing has been a little confusing and really hard
to tell if a fix is in place that works for all apps. Anyone know if
QGIS can open geotiff ok with GDAL 1.8?

I'll wait a little bit (1 hour) before starting the next build in the
hopes that someone can explain this out - otherwise we'll have to revert it.

Thanks,
Alex
