And (not to pick a fight) you've missed the point: I don't have full control
over this stuff. I have to use CMake because that's what the project uses, and
it generates the commands. If I could generate the Makefile manually, I
wouldn't have this problem. If I could convince CMake to use
/cygdrive/c/docume~1/etc., I wouldn't have this problem. If I could convince
CMake to put quotes around the path, I wouldn't have this problem. I can't, so
I do.
But you've (seemingly inadvertently?) answered the question, so I can go off
and hack something that works. Thanks!

P.S. And no, I'm not going to get into a top-posting vs. inline discussion --
that boat has sailed. I did remove your email address below, however,

You missed the point. c:/ anything is NOT posix-y. Rather, you should be
worried whether:
'-Dsomething=/cygdrive/c/documents and settings/whatever'
is one or three arguments (one if it is quoted correctly, three if it is
not). You're better off not even trying to use drive letters with a colon
when emulating posix.
