Obtaining short DOS file names?

I'm working with some shell scripts under Cygwin that do not handle spaces
in file names very well. "No problem," I think, "I'll just use the short
versions of the file names".
Is there anyway to obtain the short version of a file name from the long
version within a shell script?
E.g.,
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\ ->
c:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~4\
or
/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/ ->
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/MICROS~4/
Thanks.
