The _imageft.pyd DLL of PIL 1.1.7 has a erroneous dependency on the
Debug CRT. You can safely remove the dependency by editing the file with
a hex editor. Open the file on your hex editor, search for the string
"assembly" and comment out the Debug CRT. The block should look like:

  <!--endency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT"
version="9.0.21022.8" processorArchitecture="x86"
publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyIdentity>
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependen-->
