If PIL wants to use the G3/G4 code from libtiff I'd suggest instead
that the code just be copied and adapted for the purpose. I've done

Hmm. Going to need some pointers and understand a lot more about TIFF than a wanted.

I think I've found the relevant code in tif_fax3.c (Fax4Decode). I saw the the decoding uses a pointer to the tif struct, but it seems that the only legal way to get a tif struct pointer is with TIFFOpen. Problem is, in PIL, I get the bytes of the file, not the path to it, AFAICT.

You still think its possible to adapt the libtiff G3/G4 decoder if I only have the bytes of the tif image? If so, then that means I don't need concern myself with those STATE macros?
