I located the problem.  The makefile for Visual C++ had not been
updated for the ns-2.1b4 release.  I've attached a patch to fix this
problem below.

When I updated the Makefile, I also found a problem in the new
filter.h file.  One of the instances of the enumerated type filter_e
(DUPLICATE) seems to be defined already by the Visual C++ compiler,
and this created a conflict.  I renamed it DUPLIC and moved the
enumerated type declaration into the public section of the Filter
class, because its current location in the protected section was
making it invisible in some places where it was needed by filter.cc
(e.g., line 97).  I have attached another patch to fix this problem.
