[Image-SIG] PIL build from source not finding libraries on Debian

Hi all,

I just built PIL 1.1.7 from source and it was initially not finding the
libraries on my 64bit Debian Wheezy (system default location!). When
setting any one of the library paths (e.g. LCMS_ROOT) in setup.py to
"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/" the build finds *all* libraries as expected.
See e.g. http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/i386/liblcms2-2/filelist for
where the files go in Debian.
I think you should consider adding these paths (/usr/lib/ARCHITECTURE/)
to the default lookup paths somehow.

best,
Tobias
