Not yet. I haven't done anything with any image processing for the past few 
weeks, whether it's trying work-arounds or other packages.

FYI, my other PIL problems are:

* Lack of file support. Eventually I'll get to posting the test suite that 
I was given by a graphic designer.

* And if I remember right: I couldn't save a GIF to JPEG. Something about 
the palette not being right. I was hoping PIL would do the "right thing". 
There may be a work around for that.
