here is the workaround we use in Ant build (which by the way outclasses
anything any make can do)
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/cygusr           //becomes
/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1\cyguser          //workaround for 95/98 inability to
handle spaces in directory name

Subject: Bug in GUI App WinMain Arguements


> I'm having a problem running a windows gui app with arguments from a
mounted
> directory if the Win32Path mounted to contains blanks. (i.e. mount -s -b
> "C:/foo bar" "/foobar"). It's not a mount specific problem because it also
> occurs if the directory has a space in it.  Since mkpasswd defaulted my
home

> Cygwin supports directories with spaces in them.  I have included a small

> WinMainCRTStartup() { mainCRTStartup(); }
