I don't have a Windows system to test on, but on a Mac the following trick
seems to deal with the tildes:

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{graphicx}
    \catcode`\~11
    \graphicspath{{/tmp/foo~bar/}}
    \catcode`\~13
    \begin{document}
    \includegraphics{stuff.pdf}
    \end{document}

If I put stuff.pdf in /tmp/foo~bar, pdflatex (from TeX Live) finds it
just fine. Handling spaces seem to be a more difficult problem...
