- Preliminary support for BigTIFF files: now libtiff can recognize and reject to open such images. ;-)
- libtiff/tif_dir.c: Initialize td_tilewidth and td_tilelength fields of the TIFFDirectory structure with the 0 instead of -1 to avoid confusing integer overflows in TIFFTileRowSize() for striped images.

- libtiff/tif_compress.c: Improved error reporting in TIFFGetConfiguredCODECs() (Dmitry V. Levin).

CHANGES IN THE TOOLS:
