That's an acceptable workaround, I think. But maybe it should be supported if it actually isn't. I personally avoid using paths with spaces whenever possible, especially now that I'm on Windows 7 and can use C:\Users instead of "C:\Documents and Settings".

To make it even nicer for yourself, Vim can automatically build the 8.3 path for you. See:

:help fnamemodify()
:help filename-modifiers
