+	  Pillow is the "friendly" PIL fork by Alex Clark and
+	  Contributors. PIL is the Python Imaging Library by Fredrik
+	  Lundh and Contributors.
+
+	  Pillow relies on external libraries to provide support
+	  various image formats. Select the corresponding package(s)
+	  to get this support. Pillow can use jpeg, zlib (for PNG),
+	  tiff, freetype, webp, and openjpeg (JPEG-2000).
