[ns] fix for problem with ns-allinone-2.1b8a



Hi all,

  I had a problem compiling tcl8.3.2 after grabbing ns-allinone-2.1b8a.
The problem I had was that when compiling tcl, the Makefile tried to
generate tclStubInit.c which is already in tcl8.3.2/generic/.  In order to
generate tclStubInit.c you need tclsh, which is what I was trying to
compile, so it didn't work.

  Looking into this further, I realized that the problem is the file
timestamps in the ns-allinone-2.1b8a tarfile.  I had an installation of
ns-allinone-2.1b8 which worked fine -- in it, the timestamps in tcl8.3.2/
varied.  In ns-allinone-2.1b8a, the file timestamps in tcl8.3.2/ are all
"June 4 19:53".  This causes the Makefile to think that tclStubInit.c
needs to be generated when it actually doesn't.

  Fix: Grab tcl8.3.2 by itself -- the timestamps are retained correctly

  Can someone either fix ns-allinone-2.1b8a or mention this problem in the
bugs section?

Thanks,
Michele
