[IMAGE-SIG] Fw: problem with PIL and 1.5

[Fredrik Lundh]

(catched by the mailing list software.  "help" is not a good
enough subject, obviously).

a quick reply: as you noticed, Guido has added the necessary
stuff to tkappinit.c. the only thing you should have to do is to
define WITH_PIL, either in the Setup file or in tkappinit.c.

also watch out for compilation errors.  there was some API
changes in 8.0 final that affects PIL (don't recall which ones
at the moment, but your compiler should tell you...).

Cheers /F
