Does cygstart always expand arguments?

[Jim Kleckner]

I was trying to get cygpath and cygstart to launch
a non-cygwin-compiled program (gvim) and running
into difficulties with files that have spaces in
them.  e.g.:

   echo hello > "file with spaces.txt"
   cygstart gvim "file with spaces.txt"

causes gvim to see three files, "file",
"with", and "spaces.txt".

Is this a basic Windows limitation or is there
some hack to get around this?  cygstart appears to
be the dead end.

Thanks - Jim
