Here is a short introduction on how assembler works with cmake, ask if you 
have questions.

Are you using nmake or MSVC ?
If you are using nmake, cl will be found via PATH, i.e. you have to run it 
from a prompt where the environment is set up correctly. This is done by 
running the MS supplied batch file. In this case also the assembler should be 
available via PATH.
