Thanks to Lguillaume for helping with this one.
Had to go back to bug: [#17631] PIL_dynlib_get_error_as_string() returns NULL, causes crash
and revert the fix and make some new updates.
function needs to return NULL so fix the functions that were assuming it
always returns a string.

I also made it so that the env variable is tried ahead of all
of the other looking. (That way you can override a system default
if its broken without having to upgrade)
This also makes it so we can remove the OSX ifdef. So I did.
lukep: If you still want it add it back in but my gut says the less ifdefs
we have the better ;)

I updated gen_dynlibtiff.py so its in sync with the file(s) it creates.
I added a little more documentation to the readme.txt for adding
new file formats.
I also added two dummy functions to the tiff.c so it stopped whining
about them being NULL.
(I'm still working on the reported bugs but thought this was a good time
to at least get this in)

While investigating alternative filters (Mitchell), I found two small
errors in the Gauss code, it clipped wrong and multiplied wrong, causing
settings other than filter size 1.0 to not work properly.
Took the last-minute liberty to add more filter types in Blender too.
Also wrote an extensive log about how sampling & filtering in Blender
works.

To enable dynamic tiff support.
I had to fix some of the logic in the fileselect box for icons,
I also expanded the patch to look in various default locations for
a dynamic libtiff.so/libtiff.dll
and look at the env variable BF_TIFF_LIB if it can't find it automatically.
If unable to load the library it prints a message about setting BF_TIFF_LIB
to the console.
I haven't been able to test it on a lot of platforms but hopefully it
will just work ;) I added the files to scons but have not had a chance to
test that as well.
