It does work. yasm is optional (at least for 1.2.0). I used it to
build GMP support in php on windows
(http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/php-libs/VC9/x86/).
It will complain when you load the sln but you can still build mpir.

It can be installed somewhere in your path as well as far as I remember.

By the way, is there any plan to support the VC assembler too?
