That all sounds wonderful, but I've a feeling atrpms' PIL really is 
required for older releases, like EL4 and 5. I wonder whether the trick 
might perhaps be to tweak the rpm spec so the f10+ packages can be 
content with Fedora's python-imaging? I'm afraid I've little idea how to 
do this myself...
