[PYTHON IMAGE-SIG] PIL example scripts?

Lets see...

	h1 = Image.open("image1").histogram()
	h2 = Image.open("image2").histogram()

	rms = math.sqrt(reduce(operator.add,
		map(lambda a,b: (a-b)**2, h1, h2))/len(h1))
	
Or something (completely untested).

Except for the Scripts subdirectory (which IMO contains some pretty
interesting stuff), its not much.  Will probably put some material
that doesn't fit into the book at my homepage, but its not much there
yet.
