We actually didn't read from the nasm maintainer Dean Scarff since 2012.
Dean (in Bcc), are you still out there somehwere?  Any chance to update
nasm to a newer release?

If Dean doesn't reply the next couple of days, the nasm package will
be in need of a new maintainer...

Cool!  Just send your package ITA with package info to the
cygwin-apps list.  It seems Dean isn't available anymore.


Thanks,

 I'm still alive, but obviously haven't been actively maintaining the 
 nasm package. :)

 Glad to see Michal picked it up for the 2.13.01 release.
