Description:
    Previous versions of the PIL package interacted poorly with the
    freetype library.  A previous security fix for the freetype library
    necessarily added stricter enforcement of data provided to it, and
    this enforcement caused PIL to fail.  This update provides a version
    of PIL that has been modified to work correctly with freetype.
