+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_PROG_YASM_VERSION([VERSION],[ACTION-IF-TRUE],[ACTION-IF-FALSE])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Makes sure that yasm supports the version indicated. If true 
+#   the shell commands in ACTION-IF-TRUE are executed. If not the shell
+#   commands in ACTION-IF-FALSE are run. Note if $YASM is not set
+#   (for example by running AX_WITH_PROG) the macro will fail.
+#
+#   Example:
+#
+#     AX_WITH_PROG(YASM,yasm)
+#     AX_PROG_YASM_VERSION([1.1.1],[ ... ],[ ... ])
