Use /solid compression for smaller size. By default nsis compresses
one file at a time (like .zip default), as opposed to the whole data
block (.tar.gz). The latter gives significantly better compression,

Apparently with newer versions of Windows, a program cannot

Make the NSIS output automatically select the output architecture to
generate the proper filename and, much more importantly, set up the
proper default install directory.
This requires Perl as well as makensis to be present in order to make
an installer, but that doesn't really seem like a too onerous of a
requirement (NSIS being the big external dependency here.)

Lets start using new NSIS features like
Modern UI2, Multiuser install.
The file named nasm2.nsi by purpose -- we should
