How can you pass long filenames which include spaces to cygwin/bash
commands like 'ls' under MS-Windows? Neither escaping the spaces, nor
enclosing the filename in single or double quotes seems to work. I
have to use the old DOS style short filename like /cygdrive/Docume~
1/... which can be a nuisance.
