Tiff Plugin compiles on openSUSE 10.2

The below information was provided by Charles Fuller. Thanks Charles for the information.

1. openSUSE required packages
-----------------------------
openSUSE has different names for packages, so here's the translation:
- "mozilla-dev": "mozilla-xulrunner181-devel". (Note that the package
qt3-devel is of no use since some of the required files are "dummy"
includes.)
- "pkg-config": "pkgconfig".
- "libgtk2.0-dev": "gtk2-devel"

2. Changes to Makefile
----------------------
Here is the version of "Makefile" for the 64-bit version of Firefox:

CC=gcc
LIB=`pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0`
