After doing more searching I was able to find a reference to PIL in
numarray docs and found that both numarray and PIL support
to/fromstring methods.  With these methods I was able to convert images
into numarrays and back using grayscale and RGB images (no luck with
monochrome images yet,it appears that there are a few bits left over
when data isn't a multiple of 8).
