[IMAGE-SIG] ANNOUNCE: PIL 0.3a3 sources now available

[Case Roole]

Congrats Fredrik,

Some experiences on RedHat 5.0 with source-built python1.5 and tcl/tk8.0p1:

o The 'test' directory was absent (!)
o The README introduces the demos and encourages trying them, before it 
  mentions the Tkinter embedding. This is confusing as most of the 
  demos depend on the latter.
o The python1.5 Setup has to be edited only by uncommenting the 
  WITH_PIL line. It might be a good idea to mention that the include
  path should mention the Imaging-0.3a3/libImaging directory.
o Image.py contained the line: from Types import IntType, etc.
  On UNIX Types has to be decapitalized.
o ./Tk/tkImaging.c contains a line:

   photo = Tk_FindPhoto(argv[1]);

  Dunno if this is a Tk4.2 vs Tk8.0 thing, but I got it to work by 
  adding the 'interp' as first argument:

   photo = Tk_FindPhoto(interp,argv[1]);

Look forward to 0.3beta :-).
