I think it would be nice to be able to build without it,
if this isn't already possible.

OTOH, we might be better off doing our own logging and
asserting, if we're not going to use the other stuff in
nana. It probably wouldn't be too hard to make the util.h
logging macros go to a file. Also, that's one less package
you need to build.
