I have now corrected the pil-systempython package for 10.7 so that it 
doesn't erase previously set PYTHONPATH. When I made that package some 3 
years ago, I meant to start this discussion about %p/Library. I also 
meant to use the Runtimevars setting only temporarily, having checked 
that at that time no other package used the PYTHONPATH env variable. As 
it sometimes happens, I got sidetracked :-(
