That sounds like a problem in configure to me: IIRC configure is a shell
script and this is a common problem in shell scripts that are not
explicitly written to handle names with spaces in them.

Check the cygwin bugs register and/or ask them about it: nobody else is
likely to know whether they use a standard 'configure' shell script or
if its one of their own.
