Ugh.  This is a problem, because the version of PIL that comes with 
MacPython (the only flavor I really have access to) is 1.0b1. 
Apparently these function arguments changed between b1 and 1.0 final, 
because the test cases work just fine for me.

I'm CC'ing this to the Mac-Python list, hoping Jack or Just will tell 
me that they've got PIL 1.0 final for the Mac just about ready to go 
and will send it out next week.

Barring that, any ideas on how we can fix this in a way that will 
work on both 1.0 beta and 1.0 final (and presumably any version in 
between)?  At worst, we could check the version and have alternate 
code.

To which I say, "Hmm."  This doesn't look like it addresses the 
traceback you found before, which was on "ink = 
self.im.draw_ink(ink)".  And you say that with this change, it all 
works except for the strings test -- what goes wrong with that one?
