Hi David, MythVideo gallery view isn't affected. Libtiff is mainly for  
reading .tiff images and I thought mythgallery was the only plugin  
that used it but a quick grep through the code didn't turn up any  
references to the library or any tiff calls. I guess it's an obsolete  
dependancy?

Nothing special. The -plugins option wasn't working last time I tried  
so I manually edit the packager script to take out gallery. Probably  
that's not necessary and it's enough to remove libtiff from the deps.

I guess if the build tools don't need anything they create then it's  
OK. I'm wary of building with one library setup and running with  
another but if it runs who can argue?
