djasm will directly produce .com, .exe, .h, .inc, and .bin files from
a single source.  We use it for the stub and a few 16-bit functions we
need for DPMI memory management.  The syntax is a simplified variant
of either intel or at&t (I forget which) but we like it better than
tasm.

However, djasm doesn't yet support all the opcodes (just the ones
we've needed) and doesn't produce object files (yet?)
