Ha! I haven't had a look at selftest.py before. That script requires an
inplace build which I didn't do. Instead, I was pointing PYTHONPATH
inside the build directory and thought it would then pick the modules up
from there, but the test script imports from "PIL" which is not
available in the build directory, so it failed to import any of the so libs.
After doing an inplace build, the test script runs fine. But when I link
against the static lib, the test script only runs fine because it
imports the tk module before the freetype one. Whereas when I just
import _imagingft, I get this:

>>> import PIL._imagingft
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: dlopen(PIL/_imagingft.so, 2): Symbol not found: _FSOpenResFile
  Referenced from: PIL/_imagingft.so
  Expected in: dynamic lookup

This error does not occur if _imagingtk is imported first. So it looks
like we would have to link against some system library when building
_imagingft.

By the way, _imaging.so still depends on /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib, but I
suppose as this is a library that ships with OSX, this should be
available on all systems and so it should be fine. Is this correct?
