[ndnSIM] re-compiles everything after a very slight change

[Alex Afanasyev]

Hi Carl,

It probably doesn't compile all the code, but it will compile a significant portion of the code, as change of interest affect a lot of things (i.e., many parts of ndn-cxx, basically everything in forwarding, etc).  Changes in less impactful headers and .cpp files should not incur such large recompilation.

Unfortunately, this is price of C++ for efficiency.

I do not know the reason, but this is very time consuming as one is supposed to commit a lot of changes before his code works properly, and it is normal to run almost after each and every change.
