cups-filters 1.28.16: build fails, libexif not found #480

I updated cups-filters 1.28.15 to 1.28.16, but I get the following when I build it on my linux system:

checking for library containing TIFFReadScanline... -ltiff
checking for libexif... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libexif) were not met:

Package 'libexif', required by 'virtual:world', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

So it seems now libexif is required, unless I provide 

--disable-exif

in the configure script. I assume it was introduced with https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues/362

I had a look in the README and I didn't see that libexif is required to build cups-filters. Shouldn't it be added to the README ?

It should be mentioned in INSTALL ...
