Into some little environments, like tiff with G3/G4 compressions and
multi-page files.

Like I say to freeimagepy site, I start to wrote it *only* because I
needed a simple python library for manipulate fax images (G3/G4) that
PIL can't. I need it into my python fax client [hylapex] that it's
connect to hylafax server.

Of course, It wouldn't be a PIl replacement ;)!
