Thanks - that gets me closer:

I'd already found out about the --enable-* switches, but
when I tried them it complained it couldn't find ./libtool.
I _guessed_ host should be intel
I changed the 10.4 to 10.5 and did this:

$ ln -s `which glibtool` libtool
$ export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4
$ ./configure --enable-shared --enable-static --host=intel
$ make
$ sudo make install

That fixed the complaints about no ./libtool, great.

Then I went back to PIL. The setup.py reported that everything
was great, including JPEG.

And then selftest.py said it couldn't find a jpeg decoder...
