Description Tom Henderson 2015-07-25 14:59:00 EDT

Ovidiu Poncea pointed out on the ns-developers list that at least one TestSuite is performing initializations in the constructor (ns2-mobility-test-suite).  This is undesirable since an instance of each TestSuite is statically allocated when the tests are run, regardless of whether the user chooses to run that test suite.

This bug is to audit our test suites and move such initializations to the DoSetup() method.
