Visual C++ 6.0 is over 12 years old now...

Be that as it may, many people still use it due to various choices Microsoft made in subsequent releases (prices, packaging, functionality).

Given that libtiff uses a lot less tricky C++ code than libraries like wxWidgets or Qt, it's probably not unreasonable that libtiff still compiles with it too.
