PIL for py3k not picking up external libraries

Hi all,

I am using python 3.2 on an amd64 Gentoo system.  I was trying to 
compile an unofficial version of PIL to work in 3.2 that I found here:

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs

Anyway, when I run the setup.py to compile the source, it doesn't pick 
up tkinter, zlib, or freetype.  When I use pdb to step through the code 
where it is looking for libraries (for example zlib here), I make it all 
the way into unixcompiler.py:

 > /usr/lib64/python3.2/distutils/unixccompiler.py(318)find_library_file()
-> shared_f = self.library_filename(lib, lib_type='shared')
which returns 'libz.cpython-32.so' or 'libtcl8.5.cpython-32.py', 
depending on what it is looking for.

If I step in further to ccompiler.py

"")
881              fmt = getattr(self, lib_type + "_lib_format")
882              ext = getattr(self, lib_type + "_lib_extension")
883
884  ->            dir, base = os.path.split(libname)
885              filename = fmt % (base, ext)

The extension returns .cpython-32.so

I have a lot of these extensions for site packages, but how do I 
generate libraries compatible with this for say tkinter, zlib, etc.  For 
example, I see libtcl8.5.so, but no libtcl8.5.cpython-32.so.

Can someone tell me what I am missing?

Thanks!
