[Coco] NitrOS-9 Nightly Build -- Where we are

[Retro Canada]

I might be missing something here: I checked out the nitros9 239 repo
using mercurial and built it in cygwin. It's is using mamou to
assemble all the modules. I didn't see any lwasm.

I checked out toolshed:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at toolshed.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/toolshed
co -P toolshed

and nitros9:

http://nitros9.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/nitros9/nitros9

and built it using make dsk

 Question is: Am I getting the wrong repo ?

Mamou's rule is that the command line takes precedence over the same name in the source; lwasm's is just the opposite.
