[Image-SIG] Problems with JPEG support with PIL 1.1.5 on Mac OSX 10.4

[Andy Todd]

Back in December I wrote to the list [1] asking for help getting JPEG 
support to work with PIL on my Mac.

Well I finally got it working and thought I would share my solution with 
the list for posterity's sake.

Essentially because I'd installed libjpeg using fink it wasn't in any of 
the 'usual' library locations that PIL's setup.py was expecting. So 
after unpacking the PIL source distribution I edited the setup.py file, 
changing line 32 from;

JPEG_ROOT = None

to;

JPEG_ROOT = "/sw/lib"

And the usual python setup.py install worked like a dream.
