Issue warning(s) re: import _imaging breakage coming in 2.1.0

[aclark4life]

@olt FYI we are releasing 2.1.0 in 2 weeks, at which point "import _imaging" will fail (instead please use "from PIL.Image import core as _imaging")

If you are interested, please help us get the word out about this change!

@cgohlke Any issue with the current master becoming 2.1.0?

[cgohlke]

I just opened issue #260. Otherwise, all builds and tests pass on Python 2.6 to 3.3, 32 and 64 bit, for Windows.
PyPy 2.0.1 it crashes during test_imagefont.

I don't see _util mentioned anywhere, except in imports.

Also, I'm now seeing something along the lines of #260 when testing on a clean machine.

Shouldn't "from PIL import Image.core as _imaging" be "from PIL.Image import core as _imaging"?

>>> from PIL import Image.core as _imaging
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    from PIL import Image.core as _imaging
                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[aclark4life]

@manisandro Yep, thanks!

[aclark4life]

Yes, I haven't done it yet. You are welcome to help 😄

[aclark4life]

I've got to figure out #264 first which I'm seeing everywhere, including Travis.

[aclark4life]

Released! Thanks all
