I have written a Windows application that expects a file name as a 
command line argument.  If I compile the program with a either the 
Borland or Micrsoft compilers I get just the file name as the command 
line argument when I run the program.

However if I compile the program with the Cygwin compiler I get some 
like the following for the command line argument when I run the program:

"Directory\\Directory\\Program.exe\" Filename "

This is make things akward.  I'm not sure why Cygwin is doing this when 
other compilers don't.

Does Cygwin provide an API or other strategy to deal with this scenario?
