I wrote a private message to Frederik (gmail account) and apologised for
my wrong comment. It was targeted wrong. Note-to-self: Never post when
angry about some $whatever. And as far as I understand PIL is not the
problem, but the packaging/ setuptools. For the records: PIL is a great
piece of software and I dont want to miss it. 

I hope in future we have a packaging-tool solving those problems.
