Yes.

That was probably the wrong thing to do. By tilde, I assume you mean
` (backquote). When a command is enclosed in backquotes, the screen
output of the command is converted to a string which can be, for example,
stored in a variable.

No need to remove Cygwin totally. Just remove the Cygwin bin directory from
your %PATH%, and run configure again. I don't know if there is a "correct"
way, but you can simply delete the entire Cygwin folder. I do not think that
Cygwin makes entries in the Registry, or copies files to \WINDOWS\SYstem32

xvidcore also uses nasm.

You mentioned in an earlier post that you used "the latest version 
available".
I have never tried 0.99.01 (if that is the one that you mean), but I had no
problem building 0.98.39. I am using make 3.79.1.
