PIL Installation problem

Redhat WS Linux, PIL 1.1.5, python2.3 

Hung up because I had tk rpm package installed but not
tk-devel package.
Thus sys libs installed for tk but not include files, static
lib, etc.
Since setup.py could import _tkinter and found the sys libs
it went
ahead and tried to build, then gcc choked when it couldn't
find tk.h.

I manually blocked the setup.py from adding the tk extension
for now,
but it seems to make sense in setup.py to ensure that tk.h
exists (good
litmus test to see if whole developer infrastructure is
there).

Seem like a worthwhile change?  Want a patch?  Just ask.

Thanks,
Eric
