It indeed gets the system libjpeg library if that is available.  If this 
is not available, then the jpeg integration in PIL will not be available 
as it does not find the libjpeg that is created by the python buildout.

So currently the python buildout compiles libjpeg, but on Ubuntu 10.04 
it is not actually used, so you still need to 'aptitude install 
libjpeg62-dev', create a virtualenv and do 'bin/easy_install -f 
http://dist.repoze.org/plone/latest -U PIL==1.1.6' by hand.

Still, if you ignore some of the parts by just doing a 'bin/buildout 
install python-2.4-build python-2.4-virtualenv python-2.4' you should 
still have a good replacement for the now removed python2.4 package on 
the new Ubuntu, which is a good thing.

And I think the libjpeg problem should be fixable; I just don't quite 
know how.  So for now the system libjpeg62-dev, a virtualenv and an 
easy_install of PIL will have to do the trick.
