the PIL installers patch the PythonWare installation, if present.

if you're using another installation, locate the Python installation
directory (e.g. c:\python21), and move the Image directory and
the DLL/PYD files:

  - move the c:\py21\PIL directory to c:\python21\PIL

  - move the DLLs from c:\py21\DLLs to c:\python21\DLLs

  - create a PIL.pth file containing "PIL" on a single line,
    and put it in c:\python21
