In my previous post (in case you still can't see it) I provided a 64-bit PIL
version compiled from source:

I don't blame you for opting to go with Python 32-bit. It still too early
for full transition to 64-bit, at least in Windows-land, where compiling
stuff is not an OS feature.  :o)

As for building PIL x64, if you want full feature support, you have to build
some dependencies as well (zlib, libpng, jpeglib, and freetype). It's a bit
convoluted; if you or anyone else want instructions, I'll post them here.
