[Image-SIG] Adding Python 3 support

[Hajime Nakagami]

Hi Brian, and all

I'm trying to suport python3.3 and python2.7 by one source

https://github.com/nakagami/Pillow
(please checkout py33py27 branch)

It seems to work at gif, jpeg and png. But other many image format
still not work.
That's most import bug(?) is only support Python2.7 and Python3.3

If you need widely version support, Probabry use 2to3 approach.

thanks
