Problem with home directory name with spaces

[Motivus]

Hi. My default installation of Cygwin 1.3.11-3 created
my home directory on my W2K machine as

/home/FirstName MI LastName/

Subsequently, a GNU utility I am invoking to build
binutils is choking when I provide the installation
directory as an argment:

$ export PREFIX=`pwd`/install
...
$ ../binutils-2.11.2/configure --target=$TARGET
--prefix=$PREFIX

The error I get:

"Can only configure for one host and one target at a
time."

When I issue the command:

$ ../binutils-2.11.2/configure --target=$TARGET
--prefix="/home/First M Last/install"

I get the following response:

"Configuring for a i686-pc-cygwin host.
[: M: unknown operand"

where M is my middle initial.

Is it ok to go ahead and rename my Cygwin home
directory to something more UNIX? Can someone refresh
my memory on how I do this when the dir already has
contents?
