[PYTHON IMAGE-SIG] Announcing the Python Imaging Librar

[Bill Bumgarner]

Yes, YES, and finally YES!!!

I have been working with the Makefile.pre.in that is included in 1.4 as
Misc/Makefile.pre.in.  This makefile allows one to very easily build
module projects completely externally to the python source tree or
installed python resource libraries.  It takes full advantage of the
platform-centric installation information that is found within a
full-blown python installation.

The only thing it lacks is a 'make install' and 'make installdebug'
target!  [And, 'make package' would be nice].

b.bum

BTW:  For those interested, the python objective-C project uses the
Makefile.pre.in to do external builds;  see
ftp://ftp.thoughtport.net/pub/next/lang (i think) for the source.
