Yeah, I'm answering myself here: I believe the reason is how complicated installing PIL is. It requires native libraries, not the same libraries for every supported environment, and mile will vary regarding the package managers/installers. apt-get appears to work fine for Linux systems but OS X and Windows are simpler to install from sources. OS X showed that the Macports PIL installation failed because it requires Python 2.5... in a system running Python 2.5! Buggy and error-prone manual process. Oh, well.
Would it be a good idea to cover this in more detail in the cookbook, perhaps?
