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.
