-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 I tried to build a universal version of the 'tiff' port. The build process
 doesn't give any errors, everything installs fine. Unfortunately the
 resulting binaries fail to read any TIFF file, the same is true for
 applications that depend on libtiff like ImageMagick. The error looks like
 this:
 {{{
 $ tiffinfo the_image.tif
 the_image.tif: Not a TIFF file, bad version number 10752 (0x2a00).
 }}}

 There seems to be no extensive test suite, a 'sudo make check' in the
 MacPorts build directory just yields:
 {{{
 [...]
 make  check-TESTS
 PASS: ascii_tag
 PASS: long_tag
 PASS: short_tag
 PASS: strip_rw
 ==================
 All 4 tests passed
 ==================
 [...]
 }}}

 When I build the 'tiff' port without the +universal variant, everything
 seems to work again (although there are some warnings):
 {{{
 $ tiffinfo the_image.tif
 TIFFReadDirectory: Warning, the_image.tif : unknown field with tag 34858
 (0x882a) encountered.

 }}}
