No, don't update Tcl/Tk, Grass requires a modified version of Tcl/Tk 
found at:
   http://grass.itc.it/grass57/binary/mswindows_cygwin
download:
   xtcltk-8.3.4-CYGWIN.tar.gz
You can use Cygwin setup to un-install any existing Cygwin version of 
Tcl/Tk, or you can use some other method to hide it. You can issue the 
command 'which wish' to see which version Grass is finding, or 'which -a 
wish' to see all versions of wish which are installed. (wish is a 
component of Tcl/Tk).

I have no idea what's with the "cygwinb19.dll", I don't have one on my 
system.
