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?

Cheers,

E
