If you grab the full Distutils distribution from
http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/, there's a pil_setup.py in
the examples/ subdirectory.  It's a bit elderly, though, and may not
be up-to-date for the current PIL code.  Please let me know if you run
into any problems with it, or have to make any changes to get it to
work.
