Log Message:
Note initial import of the following packages into the NetBSD Packages
Collection.

* otcl version 1.0rc8 as lang/otcl

OTcl, short for MIT Object Tcl, is an extension to Tcl/Tk for
object-oriented programming. It shouldn't be confused with the IXI
Object Tcl extension by Dean Sheenan.

   Some of OTcl's features as compared to alternatives are:
     * designed to be dynamically extensible, like Tcl, from the ground
       up
     * builds on Tcl syntax and concepts rather than importing another
       language
     * compact yet powerful object programming system (draws on CLOS,
       Smalltalk, and Self)
     * fairly portable implementation (2000 lines of C, without core
       hacks)

* tclcl version 1.0rc12 as devel/tclcl

TclCL (Tcl with classes) is a Tcl/C++ interface used by Mash, vic, vat,
rtp_play, ns, and nam.  It provides a layer of C++ glue over OTcl.

* ns version 2.1rc9a, as net/ns

NS is a discrete event simulator targeted at networking research.
Ns provides substantial support for simulation of TCP, routing, and multicast
protocols.

* nam version 1.0rc11a as net/nam

Nam is a Tcl/TK based animation tool for viewing network simulation traces
and real world packet traces. It supports topology layout, packet level
animation, and various data inspection tools.

Nam began at LBL. It has evolved substantially over the past few years.
The nam development effort is now an ongoing collaboration with
the VINT project.

All four packages are based on packages submitted by Jan Schaumann
<jschauma%cs.stevens-tech.edu@localhost> in PR pkg/16301.
