Darn - this has been introduced after the release of both 4.7.3 and
4.8.0 :-/ You could use a snapshot available at [snapshots] instead.
Currently, they should include minor fixes only, but in the future, they
will include new and (possibly) untested features as well, though.

As a work-around, add "-DHAVE_IPTC_HANDLE_T -DHAVE_IP6TC_HANDLE_T" to
the CFLAGS. This will stop working, though, when you upgrade to the new,
official version of libiptc, but will be fixed in the next 4.7 and 4.8
releases.
