[Zope] Best way to scale images from Zope besides PIL?

[Chris Beaumont]

Thanks Mike, I will. I will have to wait a few weeks, though, because 
it sounds to me as if what i need to do is rebuild Zope from source 
and right now its crush time and I just don't have the time to do 
it..we close in around two weeks for a week and I might get enough of 
a breather to tackle it.

So, basically, it seems to me,  everybody who builds Zope from source 
gets it (PIL) working, everybody who doesn't, perhaps doesn't.

That would explain a lot..

Chris
