If you are going to build 4.0 or 4.1beta2, use libtiff 3.4. If you going to 
build latest CVS version, use any libtiff you like (3.4 or 3.5 -- it will
be autodetected). So simple. But I don't see any egetty issues here :-)

Do not believe :-) *This* Hylafax requires libtiff 3.4 and won't work with
later one.

Hope to hear from you soon,
