To be blunt: these instructions need a lot more fixing than just grammar.

NASM isn't mentioned anywhere in our source tree except here and in
tools/dev/build-svn-deps-win.pl so probably the right fix is to delete
this item from INSTALL and perhaps update the comments in
tools/dev/build-svn-deps-win.pl .
