PIL library not installed by setup.py

[Gadgetoid]

Adding PIL as a dependency on Raspberry Pi tends to lead to pip pulling down the source package and attempting to compile it- usually unsucessfully.

Example dependencies shouldn't generally by specified by setup.py because the examples aren't library code. We have an install.sh solution for this with a custom setup.cfg section, but it hasn't been backported to Inky yet.

Thinking about it- It also doesn't support additional requirements via pip, so maybe a requirements.txt in the examples folder is worth implementing.

True, the examples are something else. Thanks 🙃

I reckon example-depends could install pillow? (it doesn't atm)
