[Image-SIG] Reading 16bit image

I submitted a while ago a question related to the possibility of 
opening TIF files with 16 bit depth that remained with no answer...

It would be interesting to know how to work with 16 bit files in PIL 
in general (it does not seem to be possible with the open source 
version of PIL)...

Thanks,
Aureli
