[Image-SIG] PIL can't find the native libs on AMD64 (patch included)

Hi everyone,

on my GNU/Linux AMD64 system, setup.py from PIL 1.1.6 doesn't find the
native libraries for Tkinter, JPEG, ZLIB and Freetype2 support, unless
I also install the 32-bit version of the libraries (I have a 64-bit
Python 2.4.3).

This patch seems to fix the problem for me, but I'm not sure it's
always the correct one:
