At least on my machine there is no problem when PATH contains stuff
like "Progra~1".  Here is the relevant part of a make call done within
an MSYS shell:

[...]
(cd latex ; make all)
make[2]: Entering directory
`/d/software/windows/unix/src/auctex-test/preview/latex'
/c/Progra\~1/MikTeX/texmf/miktex/bin/tex '\nonstopmode \input
bootstrap.ins'
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (MiKTeX 2.4)
[...]

BTW, Luis, you can copy stuff from an MSYS shell simply by dragging
the mouse.  Content which is highlighted is automatically put into the
clipboard.
