PIL Win32 binaries for Python 1.6 (final)

[Kaufman, Duane (MED, LUNAR)]

Hi, 

Just to fill in on what I have tried:

I downloaded the source, and then found sub parts (jpeg-6b, and
zlib-113) and pieced together a dsp for MSVC++6.0.

Further, getting the last .h files the build seemed to require from the
tcl and tk distributions, I finally get it built, but when I try to use
the Image module to, for instance, convert a .gif to a .bmp:

>>> import Image
>>> img=Image.open('c:\splash.gif')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "D:\PYTHON\PIL\Image.py", line 895, in open
    raise IOError, "cannot identify image file"
IOError: cannot identify image file
>>>

I do not know the innards well enough to figger out what needs to be
done.

Anyone?

Duane
