R devel - Jun 2004 - 'cygpath -d' to fix windows paths with spaces

The cygwin 'cygpath' command can now convert arbitrary windows and unix
paths into the short ms-dos 8.3 equivalents.  This tools might allow the
windows build system to better deal with those messy long Windows file and
directory names that contain spaces.

EG:

warneg@GRDGROL99X1028: src [1]$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/WarnesGR/My
Documents/cygwin_home/src/gregmisc/src

warneg@GRDGROL99X1028: src [1]$ cygpath -d "`pwd`"
c:\DOCUME~1\WarnesGR\MYDOCU~1\CYGWIN~1\src\gregmisc\src

This should be done internally already, e.g. in the Perl code and by the 
Rpwd.exe we use.  The problem is to anticipate everything people might 
actually try.

Already fixed in R-patched to be R-1.9.1 in a few weeks:

     o   approx(list(x=rep(NaN,9),y=1:9), xout=NaN) does not seg.fault
     anymore (PR#6809).
