Python Imaging Library and Windows HELP!

I just downloaded and installed the Python  Imaging Libary for windows, and
it basically has a set of py files, a dll. There is absolutely no
documentation of what to do with this stuff.

I added the directory to the pythonpath environment variable, copied the
.dll to the /windows/system dir and then when running a program that uses
it -

----------
C:\Python20\OpenGL\nehe>python lesson6.py
Hit ESC key to quit.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "lesson6.py", line 225, in ?
    main()
  File "lesson6.py", line 218, in main
    InitGL(640, 480)
  File "lesson6.py", line 77, in InitGL
    LoadTextures()
  File "lesson6.py", line 58, in LoadTextures
    image = image.tostring("raw", "RGBX", 0, -1)
  File "c:\python20\py152\pil\Image.py", line 325, in tostring
    self.load()
  File "c:\python20\py152\pil\ImageFile.py", line 125, in load
    self.load_prepare()
  File "c:\python20\py152\pil\ImageFile.py", line 175, in load_prepare
    self.im = Image.core.new(self.mode, self.size)
  File "c:\python20\py152\pil\Image.py", line 40, in __getattr__
    raise ImportError, "The _imaging C module is not installed"
ImportError: The _imaging C module is not installed

C:\Python20\OpenGL\nehe>

Nobody in EFnet/irc.openprojects.net:#python seem to be able to help with
this. Most of them are on linux, though.

If anyone can help me with this I would really appreciate it.
