The easiest way to get a complete working setup on Windows, including ming compiler, is to install a distribution such as pythonxy (my favorite) or EDP.
When I used to develop on Windows, this website with pre-compiled binaries was extremely handy: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
You'll find pre-compiled versions of PIL and ReportLab there. Hope that helps you out.
