Where is Imaging.h?

Nope, I blew it and had to hack the NumPy setup script to install the C
header files.  Both Paul Dubois and I totally forgot about this need
until a NumPy user pointed it out.  Oops.  You're right though,
Distutils will need to be fixed to do this properly for other module
distributions than NumPy.

For the record, NumPy installs its headers to
   $prefix/include/python1.5/Numeric

which I guess makes sense.  C headers aren't normally platform-specific,
except for those of the config.h variety -- and in fact I believe that
most of Python's own headers are installed to $prefix, but config.h goes
to $exec_prefix.  Wouldn't it be nice if we could just say "Extensions
with platform-specific headers are EVIL".  Doubt it though.  ;-(
