getting PIL built on OS-X is a bit of a pain. If you want to run it just 
on your system, the easiest way is to get the dependencies from 
macports, and then build PIL with those.

A note: OS-X generally (always?) hard-codes the path to dependent libs 
when linking. so you can do:

otool -L _imaging.so

and you should see what it's linked against.

But far easier is to install a binary. Russell Owen has built some, that 
you can find here:

Fredrik: please put these up the PIL site!
