Cygwin and long filenames with spaces

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.
