For starters -- you'll want to ask this question on the
imaging-sig at python.org mailing list, which is specifically focused on such
things. Most of the traffic is PIL related, so you'll probably get much
faster results.
I think there may be some issues with installing from source on Windows,
but I'm not really sure. I have to admit to being very out of my element
on Windows -- I also find it odd that it would unpack into "Py22", but I
can't really say why that would be.
Good luck with it,
Terry
