I tried git master like this:
foo\ bar/a\@b/bin/initdb.exe data foo\ bar/a\@b/bin/pg_ctl.exe -D data/ -w start
and didn't encounter a problem.
Platform is Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, with latest 32 bit Cygwin.
[ ... ] It looks like possibly the only time this will actually matter
on Cygwin is when starting a service. Just running "pg_ctl start" from
the command line works fine. But starting the service doesn't.
I'll try the patch when I get a chance.
