To add to Bob's reply: what I did for the PIL in the main package 
manager database (which also doesn't depend on libjpeg.dylib) in the 
end was remove the libjpge.dylib and associated files before building 
PIL. I tried various other approaches trying to get it to use the 
static library in stead of the dynamic library but didn't succeed.

Distutils really needs a feature whereby you can tell it to use 
specific paths to certain libraries in stead of -L and -l options, 
whereby you never know what you'll eventually link against...
