OK. it's a terminology issue -- What I meant was "two separate 
binaries". Anyway, if you want to write such an installer, that would be 
great (though it would make the download bigger)

I've got start on it.

thanks. A couple questions:

The PIL docs state that you need libz for png support, but not libpng 
itself -- are those docs out of date?

I thought this overrode the Makefile values -- or does it add to them? 
I'd like to add " -arch PPP -arch Intel" to CFLAGS, but don't want to 
override the other flags there...

What is the status of this? I was wondering if I could use Apple's 
freetype...

Does PIL usually come with these fonts? how critical is this?

Again, tiff isn't listed as a PIL dependency .

I sure wish Apple would provide a bit more of this stuff -- I now have 
libjpeg, libpng, and libtiff in a half a dozen different packages -- arrrgg!

What's this?
