Don't use #ifndef, since you are redefining the macros
unconditionally.  A proper redefinition is this (I've just added a
comment to the FT2 sources for explanation):

  #define FT_IMAGE_TAG( value, _x1, _x2, _x3, _x4)  (value)
  #define FT_ENC_TAG(   value, _x1, _x2, _x3, _x4)  (value)

Now you get simple enumeration values starting with 0.

BTW, I made a small mistake: You must *not* redefine FT_MAKE_TAG since
those values have to be 32bit numbers (and they aren't used in
enumerations).

If you still have problems please try to debug them and send you
results to address@hidden
