I've yet to see a system that *has* a tiff.pc file.  Libtiff
does not install a .pc file therefore it would have to be
added by the packager.

Definitely not on FreeBSD.  Since everyone knows libtiff
does not install a .pc file, no one tests libtiff
availability with pkg-config...

...and even if someone perhaps tries to, Gtk+ does not, so
a tiff.pc would have no effect on Gtk+.  Creating it manually
would be a futile excercise.
