cygpath -u doesn't seem to convert spaces properly

I am trying to use cygpath -u to convert my windows path to an unix path 
in my shell script.  However, it has problems with paths that has spaces 
in it.  For example, "cygpath -u c:\Program Files\Java" is converted to
/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Java, which doesn't work.  Is there a flag 
that I am missing?

I came up with the following, but it seems wrong.

$ cygpath -u "$(cygpath -m -s "c:\Program Files\Java")"
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/Java

Thanks,

Jerome
