Try creating symlink /home/riccardo and then modifying HOME environment variable to that path.
Cygwin should support symlinks. If it doesn't, then I guess you'll have to create a directory and move cygwin-related stuff to that new home. I don't think that a more systematic solution could be performed. While adding autotools scripts for data files on a relatively large project (apart from just code), which weren't autotoolized yet, easiest solution to me was to simply remove spaces from any offending data files.
