Here are current PIL download statistics (last 10 days):

    75.6% /downloads/PIL-1.1.5.win32-py2.4.exe
    18.0% /downloads/PIL-1.1.5.win32-py2.3.exe
     2.2%  /downloads/PIL-1.1.5.win32-py2.2.exe
     4.2%  /downloads/PIL-1.1.5.win32-py2.1.exe

Note that these are fresh downloads for Windows, not users.  People
who run other systems, or are happy with their existing installation,
isn't included (so older versions are probably more common than they
appear).

(fwiw, I still have users on 1.5.2 for most of my libraries.  usually huge
Unix systems that nobody wants to break just because they can...)
