Hi Brad, I followed your suggestion and looked at iasm.c, but this
file has the backend license.  Code from random contributors
complicates copyright -- a problem made much simpler if the relevant
files were also under the Artistic/GPL.  Does it makes sense for
Digital Mars to "move" the inline assembler to be considered part of
the front-end?
