Unfortunately that doesn't seem to help:

sholden at DELLBOY ~/install/Imaging-1.1.4
$ export TCL_LIBRARY=$(cygpath -w /usr/share/tcl8.4)

sholden at DELLBOY ~/install/Imaging-1.1.4
$ export TK_LIBRARY=$(cygpath -w /usr/share/tk8.4)

sholden at DELLBOY ~/install/Imaging-1.1.4
$ python setup.py build

I'm wondering if I might need to download extra libraries, but I can't 
see anything appropriate.
