I prefer to wrap everything in a shell script.  This is the one I use,
though I actually use "cygpath -w" because I still use NTemacs
because I don't always start X.

EVAL isn't needed but I make all my shell scripts work with -n or
--dry-run so I can see what would happen.

  #!/bin/sh
  ARGS=();  EVAL=eval;  EMACS=emacs;  AMP='&'
  while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
      case "$1" in
          -e|--existing)    EMACS='emacsclient --no-wait';  AMP=  ;;
          -n|-nn|--dry-run) EVAL='echo #'                         ;;
          -*|+*)            ARGS[${#ARGS[*]}]="'$1'"              ;;
          *)                ARGS[${#ARGS[*]}]="'$(cygpath "$1")'" ;;
      esac
      shift
  done
  $EVAL $EMACS "${ARGS[@]}" "$AMP"
