Natty: Python Imaging Library in a virtualenv - no JPEG or PNG support

I'm unable to build PIL with JPEG and PNG support in Ubuntu 11.04. I
posted this to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1751455 on
Friday but have received no responses.

We build our Python webservices in a virtualenv with all external
packages stored locally. This gives us reproducible results on a
variety of Linux distros, Mac, and Windows, both for developer
machines and production boxes.

Here's a repro case in a clean virtual machine.

$ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages ~/venv
$ source ~/venv/bin/activate

$ mkdir -p ~/PIL ~/temp/site-packages
$ export PYTHONPATH=~/temp/site-packages/
$ cd ~/PIL
$ wget http://effbot.org/downloads/Imaging-1.1.7.tar.gz

$ sudo apt-get build-dep python-imaging
# sets up zlib1g-dev, libfreetype6-dev, libjpeg62-dev, liblcms1-dev, ...

$ easy_install -v --install-dir ~/temp/site-packages --find-links ~/PIL\
  --allow-hosts=None --always-unzip Imaging

...
