Harley,

By default libgeotiff is built to read the .csv files at runtime.  An
alternative is to build the .c files with the table information into
the DLL/exe and then no runtime access to the csv files is needed.
The .inc files are always compiled it, but basically just supply
"macro names" to go with the various codes.

Best regards,
