I'm sorry for the late reply, I was really busy these days. And I'm
sorry for being not clear enough in my previous messages. I've
successfuly built TIFF plugin on Linux, and it works fine (thank you
very much!) except inverted (I believe) colors. The "image" I
mentioned was Smalltalk image. The windows vm built couldn't open it
(symptoms I've described in my first message in this thread).

I'll be really glad if you provide me some guidance. What I'd like to know:
 - is it really inversion of colors (that's why I tried to build
plugin on windows, just to check if it is platform specific
behaviour)?
 - is there some client-side code handling byte order (I found one in
changesForSqueak.c file, tried to modify it but failed)?

Thanks in advance,
George
