Comment (by jakosek):

 As I remember problem with PIL was not missing files, but precompiled
 module with bad paramerets.
 Main problem is pointed on stackoverflow:

 {{{
 The freetype C library references a debug CRT that is not available on all
 machines. You can easily patch the _imagingft.pyd file with a hex editor.
 }}}

 Pillow modules work on all tested computers.
