For some reason, the Cygwin Tcl's `exec' command has trouble running
scripts...

Yup, I've seen this and have a "personal edition" workaround
exactly like yours.  I haven't bothered to put it in even "pu",
because I am reluctant to add an workaround to a problem I do
not understand (and I haven't bothered to try understanding the
problem which happens only on Windows ;-).

Does anybody know what is going on?

Currently, Cygwin's tcl is a pure windows version which uses
CreateProcess to run stuff.  It doesn't know about scripts and possibly
doesn't even know about cygwin paths.
