Not necessarily so, I suppose, but if you intend to use models.ImageFields,
then django relies on PiL. Please add as a RDEP kthxbye.

Done.

Can we make PIL dependency optional?  It is better to add USE-flag and leave it
on by default.

Probably special postinstall warning can be displayed if this flag is disabled
by user.
