Well, I'm not "the guy," but we've talked about it sufficiently that I think I
can at least try and speak for him.

The essential use case is a developer using a laptop with intermittent network
connectivity.  The user wants to be able download our code and the regression
traces while a network connection is available -- either by tarball or by
Mercurial.  He then wants to take his laptop to an area in which networking is
not available and do development locally.  He wants to be able to run the
regression tests without having to return to a net connection.

The simplest thing seems to be to add an option to run regression without
checking for or downloading new trace files; something along the lines of,

  ./waf --regression-static    # run tests without checking for new bits

Then, the user in question, who's name rhymes remarkably well with Henderson,
could download the ns-3 bits and run the regression tests once while connected.
 He could then run the above command whenever he is not connected.

Did this cover the issue, Tom?
