In the context of discussion it should be noted that if neither nasm or
nasmw is found at the moment of *.mak generation, then nasmw will be
chosen. One can argue that defaulting to nasm is more appropriate.
Therefore http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=19895. Note that it doesn't
necessarily solves python problem, because I have no idea what they have
on %PATH% at the moment of *.mak generation.

I think workaround suggested in bugs.python.org is fair solution. The
trouble is that chances are that you upset somebody no matter what you
do. Cheers. A.
