[Image-SIG] Reading 16bit image

[Klamer Schutte]

Aureli,

All over the PIL source there seem to be hooks for 16 bit TIFF support.
I hacked the code a while ago to have it working to my needs (reading
16 bit usigned int tiffs) and it sort of worked (arithmetic not defined
on 16 bits, so casting to 32 bit / float needed).

If you really are interested I will dust it off and package it so
you can use it as well.
