Both YASM and the YASM rules file can be placed anywhere you wish for
building MPIR.
And the location of YASM could be set in the YASM rules file or in a
configuration option in VC++.
YASM could be built as a step in building MPIR but the VC++ build is
already complex enough and I would prefer not to make it even more
complex.
But there would be nothing to hinder a two step command line build
that built and installed YASM before building MPIR.
In fact it would probably be quite easy to build MPIR without the VC++
IDE or the *.vcproj files by using cl.exe and yasm.exe in a command
line build.
The reason for putting the YASM files in the VC++ system directories
is that it is then easy to build any VC++ project that uses YASM. And
since I have a lot of project that use YASM, doing this just once
makes sense.
