[Nasm-devel] [PATCH] Allow --v for version

[Andy W. <abw...@gm...>]

Long patch description:  NASM and yasm are in many respects compatible 
but yasm uses --v instead of -v for version.  As often --v is used for 
version I end up using --v initially in NASM.  This patch allows me to 
compile Mozilla apps which use yasm with NASM by merely renaming NASM to 
yasm so that the build environment does not have to be updated (Mozilla 
would not accept changes to allow use of NASM).  The patch is trivial 
and as such should not affect any other use case that I can see.
