Agreed.

Sure there is.   Hack the asm output backend of gcc to use nasm.  This *is*
actually practical because I did it in about 1 1/2 weeks last month.
Perhaps its more practical to just ask me to send a precompiled binary over
(NOTE - I will not actually do this because I haven't tested things
thouroughly, I will announce and release it someday).

Its actually the other way around, but same difference.  Its pretty much
just a novelty until
debug format (as well as a couple of other things, like proper code
alignment) is added to NASM.
