The file build-dir/dbg-shared/lib/p2p.dll is hidden by windows/system32/p2p.dll on cygwin systems.  Should rename to point-to-point.dll or something like that.

Good catch! I can only imagine how difficult it must have been to track that bug :)

I wonder if correctly setting PATH to point to the directory containing ns-3's p2p.dll before anything else helps prevent the bug (the waf build system for ns3 does that for you when you run waf --shell or waf check).

Regardless, it is probably a good idea to rename the module anyway, for clarity if nothing else.

we generate dlls with an ns-3 prfix now.
