It's already fixed in CVS. It should be sufficient if you replace
the existing build_exe.py by the new one which you can grab
from the CVS repository:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-in/viewcvs.cgi/py2exe/py2exe/py2exe/build_exe.py
(the server seems down at the moment).

There's a new command line flag, which you must use to specify
the progids you use, like "--progids Excel.Application".

HTH,
