I think it will work with
cd "`cygpath -D`"
That's backticks inside double quotes. Windows makes it easier since (I
think) quotes are not allowed in filenames. Beyond that, I think a quick
and dirty procedure is to backslash anything that isn't alphanumeric; if
it's special, it gets escaped, and if it's not special, then backslash
doesn't hurt anything.
