ChefDK can't install gems on Windows machine where username has a space

I created an issue for this on the chef-dk repo, but CodeRanger suggested I mail here for help. Here’s the issue: https://github.com/opscode/chef-dk/issues/129

So berkshelf can only be installed via the ChefDK and the ChefDK won’t work due to this issue. I’m stuck. Anyone have a workaround?
