nasm is needed to build JNode

Hi babu,

there might basically be two reasons for the Exception: Either you have not installed nasm (which is required to build) or the installed nasm is not found (either a naming issue nasmw.exe vs. nasm.exe or a PATH issue).
For more details about nasm and Windows have a lock either here or here.
