Since there have not been any complaints (at least, not since my last
response), nor requests to build an asm-enabled version of the DLL,
can we go ahead and publish it?

I am still curious about the state of the gcc-asm modules. By
following this list I could tell that the VC-asm modules are
well-tested, and they seem to offer a small speed improvement, but how
about gcc-asm? Did anybody run any tests? (I'd like to do that myself,
but the time I can spend on Windows is minimal these days.)
