I don't think that's a problem - the ImageGrab module for PIL has a
conditional import of _grabscreen that is used for older PIL releases.
But as of PIL 1.1.3 or later it's a built-in module (in Image.core,
which is an alias for the _imaging extension).

So basically this is a warning that py2exe couldn't find a module that
might get imported at runtime, but you know that it won't happen with
your PIL release.  So you could probably just add that to the excludes
setting to avoid getting the warning.
