You are correct there is no support for tiled TIFF, yet. I think I was
silently hoping that TIFFReadScanline would work, even though it might
be inefficient.

If you have some time at hand I would be very thankful if you could
add support for tiled TIFFs. Of course, I can help you out with any
questions or problems you might run into.

I have fixed the spelling error ( read_scaline ). ;-)

Thanks,
Christian
