I'd rather install any new PIL version inside the Python instance provided 
by Plone, rather than use the system python. Are there any step-by-step 
instructions on how to make buildout download & use a newer version of a 
package? My exploratory attempts to modify the buildout.cfg file did not 
succeed.

While I would like to resolve this problem swiftly, I also want to leave 
things in a maintainable state, so when I upgrade to the next Plone 
version, things don't break again.
