PIL uses a funky way to load image format plugins as late as possible, 
so modulefinder can't reliably detect which image plugins you may or 
may not need.  py2exe has the same problem with PIL.

Basically you need to include the whole PIL package, or you need to 
explicitly import any image plugins you think you may need.  I forget 
the bb commandline or 'buildapp.py' syntax to do it, so either someone 
else will have to chime in or you'll have to look it up.
