There's a discrepency between the list of dependencies in the gtk2
(native Fedora) package and the mingw32-gtk2 package.  One of the
missing deps is, as you say, libtiff.

Dan did the Gtk2 packaging so I don't know if this was because libtiff
was hard to compile on Windows, or just to save time (because tiff is
not a widely used image format).

Also the version numbers have diverged a little.

Anyway if you need libtiff for gtk1 you'll have to package it
yourself.
