[Image-SIG] PIL and 16-bit images bug

[Ken Mankoff]

Hi,

I know there is no official PIL support, but the site does suggest 
posting bug reports here. I think I have found two, both related to 
16 bit images, one TIF and one PGM. It seems there is support for 8 
bit and 32 bit, but not 16 bit images. Some more details here:

It seems I should read with mode of "L;16" but "L" is hardcoded into 
File.c with PGM. I presume something similar with TIF file read.

Cheers,

   -k.
