My stop-gap measure is this patch to avoid the insanity loop:

I guess another way would be to add builtin detection to webp, explicit
dependency here … and some way to handle the wicked ciruclar dependency
that arises. I for my part don't see why I would want webp support in
TIFF and TIFF support in webp. People should just stop this madness.


Alrighty then,

Thomas
