Hello,

I try to use the @pathname feature (see
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-at),
but it does not seem to work when pathname contains a space character.

My test pathname is D:\Documents and Settings\myuser\Desktop\test; with
C:\Home\myuser\test it works perfectly.

I have tried @"path name" or @'path name', @path\\ name, or even
@path" "name, with no interpretation of the @.

I also had a look into the source (dcrt0.cc) but i am lost with
"cmd = quoted (cmd, winshell && argc > 0)".


Please help,

Regards,

Denis Excoffier.
