Actually, this is a packaging error in windowmaker.  The setup.hint / 
setup.ini MUST list the required dependencies, for packages intended for 
distribution via the offiical mirror network.

requires:  ....  tiff jpeg

should appear in the setup.hint.  Then, when the website maintainer runs 
upset, setup.ini will specify the correct dependencies -- and when a 
users runs setup.exe and selects windowmaker, setep will automatically 
select the tiff and jpeg packages to satisfy those dependencies.

Cool, huh?
