Yes, this fixed the bug. Here is my test report:

1. I reproduced the bug by running a build with cygwin's tcltk package 
installed: again, some part of cygwin had been grabbed. This time 
however the behaviour was that the test.exe got stucked completely, 
needing to be killed using TaskManager. This difference may come because 
I upgraded meanwhile my copy of Cygwin.

2. I modified the line in build_exe.py as described.

3. Now the produced .exe runs well in both cases (tcltk installed during 
build or not)

Sorry for the long delay before testing this.
