Yep: use single-quotes ('), not double ("). And ask not why; there are none
alive who understand the seemingly random shell quoting rules.
Note also that this doesn't do what one needs it to in all circumstances (FOR
NAME in $LIST_OF_PATHS_WITH_SPACES... comes to mind); in such cases you must
resort to the very useful "cygpath" utility (q.v.).
