I started a list of supported platforms and ns-3 options on a wiki page 
that describes in more detail the installation process:

http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Installation

As you noted, there are a lot of option/platform combinations that are 
now possible, with many untested.

Any feedback on this page in general and on the list of supported 
platforms in particular?  I did not try to fully build out or populate 
the option table; suggestions welcome.

I agree; we also need to get some test coverage for NSC and for the 
python scripts.  Please let me know what other test cases must be added 
to the nightly regression script to start to pick up more cases.
