PIL package not available

I made a fresh install of plone3-site package. Other packages such as zope2.10 and a version of python 2.4 were installed alongside.

However, plone failed to start. The reason was that python2.4 lacked the PIL (python-imaging) package. It was installed under the "official" python version, though.

I solved the problem by making a soft link from the python2.4 lib directory to the PIL directory under python2.6. However, this is just a trick and it should be part of the automated installation of the plone3-site package.

Either Zope needs to run with python2.6 or there needs to be a python2.4-imaging package made and this needs to depend on it both of these are not likely. I think that the best solution would be to upgrade zope to 2.12 which runs with a modern python.
