How remove Tcl/Tk fom py2exe distribution?

[Michael Peuser]

Thank you Thomas, for these excellent advice. "verbose" of course just
supports debugging and does not prevent py2exe from beeing quite autistic.
And it does a good job in that: Not only sys.path but sys.prefix as well as
sys.exec_prefix are faked to the local directory. This makes it a little bit
harder to supplement the path info.

Tcl also has the nasty habbit to look arround according to sys.prefix
settings and trying this and that....

Nevertheless I think I can do the next step. It could be of help, if py2exe
either
- could become configurable (i.e. optionally leave the os variables as they
are)
or
- make them somewhere available
