Copying the include files from the source distribution makes
things work with the RPM, but I'm still curious what was wrong 
when building PIL from sources.

The libraries used by _imaging.so are:
$ ldd _imaging.so
        libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x40145000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40164000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40173000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

But there are a bunch of undefined X11 symbols.  It looks to me
like _imaging.so should depend on some X libs...
