Now that I know that libtiff provides its own compression and sub-format
code, I'm not sure any more if it's reasonable to expect, e.g.,
--without-webp to disable TIFF WEBP support.  Support for the WEBP image
format and the WEBP TIFF sub-format are maybe two different things.  If
you're going to provide some more control over TIFF format support,
maybe additional options --without-tiff-webp, --without-tiff-lzw etc.
make more sense.  Don't know how much that complicates the build
process, though.

Best,
