Maintainers/developpers will correct me, but you need to call nasm with:
-DPREFIX -DWIN32

Open one .asm file and you will see that, depending on those defines
(you'll be able to find the right ones if the ones I gave aren't the ones
needed), the macro cglobal properly add the "_" to the function name. This
is needed because the asm functions are declared as extern "C" and that's
how VC++ handles those declarations, btw (ie building with gcc doesn't
need that).
