I can't explain why, but I kind of wanted to get it working with the 
default Python, so i took the :
"-arch i386" out of the Make file, and PIL now seems to build just 
fine, except I still don't seem to have jpeg support (which I'll need 
some day, but not now)

Yes, let's hope. Or even better, does anyone know who we can lobby to 
get an official Apple update to fix a few of these things in Python. 
It's silly, but it really makes it easier for me to use Python at work 
if Apple is providing it! It gives it an air of legitimacy.

Thanks for all you help. Now on to readline!
