I'm asking this out of ignorance more than anything else. Is this
(assoc-ref %build-inputs "libtiff") call required for "--with-libtiff",
when it is not required for "--with-zlib" and "--with-jpeg"?

Also, can we build this package with libjpeg-turbo, instead of libjpeg?
libjpeg-turbo claims to be faster, and many packages in Arch and
Parabola are built using libjpeg-turbo.
