PIL can be used as a package ("from PIL import Image"), assuming
that it's installed under a directory in your path. there's one pro-
blem in 1.0b1, though: you have to explicitly import the file format
handlers you need:
import PIL.JpegImagePlugin
import PIL.PngImagePlugin
this has been fixed in 1.0 final.

inertia, and compatibility concerns. we've decided that all
official material related to PIL 1.0 will use the old syntax (and
all 1.X releases will be possible to install using the PIL.pth
approach). too many users out there...
now, PIL 2.0 is a completely different thing...

not that I'm aware...
