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

[Eric Balasbas]

Just wanted to add that I had PIL, Photo, ZPhoto, and ZPhotoAlbum working
on my Debian system at home. I just used the deb binary packages that are
part of potato, although I upgraded to the latest Zope version on
unstable later. I wish I could tell you how to fix your problem, but PIL
was already part of a Python package installed on my machine before I had
Zope working.
