Hello everybody!

The NASM package in Cygwin is getting a tad long in the tooth.  There is
NASM 2.08.02 available, but 2.10.03 is current, i.e. NASM has done two
major releases in the meantime.  The package for Cygwin was created
over two years ago.

Newer NASM versions are required to assemble modern software, notably
libav.  Now I'd like to know if anybody is working on updating the
NASM package in Cygwin or is planning to do it in the somewhat near
future.

best regards, Diego
