[Image-SIG] Problem with show() in PIL1.1.6

[Fredrik Lundh]

The 1.1.5 behaviour on Windows was broken in a number of ways, so the
code was reverted to the 1.1.4 state of things in 1.1.6.

To get the old behaviour, you can use the helper function shown in this session:

>>> import threading
>>> from PIL import ImageWin
>>> def display(im):
...     def viewer():
...         w = ImageWin.ImageWindow(im)
...         w.mainloop()
...     t = threading.Thread(target=viewer)
...     t.start() # do the setup and run the mainloop in a separate thread
...
>>> from PIL import Image
>>> im = Image.new("RGB", (512, 512), "red")
>>> display(im)
