An update on this ns-2 release:

I have posted some revised packages at:
http://www.nsnam.org/temp/ns-allinone-2.33-rc3.tar.gz
http://www.nsnam.org/temp/ns-2.33-rc3.tar.gz

These are the changes since rc2:
- fix ns-2 autoconf scripts to deal with the OS X issues Lloyd raised
- remove aodv/aodv.tcl as suggested by Ali Hamidian
- fix debugging-related bug in the 802.11 code that Ilango had patched
- fix install script to use gmake for FreeBSD builds, reported by 
Soo-Hyun Choi
- updated documentation to cover the 802.11 and dynamic libraries code

Thanks to people who have been testing this.  If there are no other 
comments, I'll plan to make the release on Monday.

Tom
