gd-2.1.1-r1.ebuild.patch

GDlib has no “tiff” USE flag. The TIFF support currently depends on the presence of media-libs/tiff during build process.

My patch adds the “tiff” USE flag and enables it by default because I thought this is the best way to not break systems that are using the TIFF support. Everyone else would see that the update installs media-libs/tiff and can disable tiff support before updating. I would recommend to disabled it by default after a few stable version updates.
