I've reviewed the packaging of nasm and it seems to be OK. The only 
thing that seems to be missing is the documentation. The documentation 
provided by the binary package includes only the man pages for nasm
and ndisasm. However, nasm has a very complete documentation with a lot 
of examples and available in several differen output formats (html, 
info, pdf). So, I think including one the .info files in the binary 
package along with the man pages is a good idea and will make the package 
complete.

P.S. Yes, I know there are instructions on how to build the documentation 
in the Cygwin specific readme file, but this means that the user has to 
download the source package and build the docu by himself.

Making docs available is a good idea. I personally like info and HTML best.
An alternative would be to have a separate nasm-doc package with all the
documentation, which would keep the smaller binary download for people that 
do not need the docs.
