A nicer workaround is to create a symlink and then modify the
vcvars.cmd/vsvars.cmd environment configuration scripts to point at
the symlink. Then tools which have problems with spaces in their paths
and whatnot Just Work.
You can use the sysinternals toolset to create a symlink on windows.
Or alternatively use perl itself which is also capable of the same
thing.
