+The Python Imaging Library (PIL) provides image processing facilities
+to Python programs. The library supports many file formats, and
+provides powerful image processing.
+
+Compiling the Python Imaging Library does not require any libraries
+outside Slackware Linux. If libjpeg-6b is installed, JPEG support
+is included. For PNG support zlib is required.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
+# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must make
+# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also customary to
+# leave one space after the ':'.
