Gregory,
Not sure what you mean by "no free masm with license which allows OSS
development"...Version 8.0, compatible with VC++ 2005 Express is
downloadable for free from the Microsoft Download site...

The clck-thru license does say something about not using it for
developing software to be commercially distributed, does that violate ?
Cool! Thanks for the pointer. This is something new. The date published is
June 7 2006 which is pretty recent. It happened after I've written my email
about MASM not available.
Anyway, I hope my NASM port will not be discarded because it may be used to
compile Harmony with free as in speech Cygwin or MinGW toolchains.
I also read your interesting experiments on the other linked
thread. Microsoft appears to have a new tool mt.exe to embed these
manifests:
mt.exe -manifest someapp.exe.manifest -outputresource:someapp.exe;1
( 1 for .exe and 2 for .dll )
Could be added as a post-build step.

Sure. I thought I'd have to experiment with rc or windres utilities so I
gave up at that stage. I didn't know they've invented a special utility
right for the purpose of embedding manifests into executables and dlls.
