Bingo. Exactly this happened here.

Hm... I believe there pros/cons for both. At the moment I see
only cons but this might change after thinking awhile.

The problem now is that config for the ADP module is dependent
on two places. The config file (ns_section/ns_param) and some
other magic (config.tcl) that runs ns_register_adp. If we'd
follow the "module" logic and encapulate all that module needs
to do in the module directory (of course we need to declare a
ADP module!) then it would be logical. You would have a "module loader"
that is Tcl and module can have whatever it likes (only Tcl, C or
a mixture of files). But as is now, it is very confusing.

At the moment I'm in a great stress to roll-out our V3 beta release
so I cannot think much about that (packaging). I just need to make
it work again. But I will think about that soon.
