in reply to SNMP MIB files...
i would just keep my MIB files installed with the package and add the directory to the (front or end... i forget which) of the $ENV[MIBDIRS] variable. if you craft your own .index file in the directory you don't have to worry about the filenames.
be warned, there used to be a bug in the .index code that would ignore the freshness of the .index file and re-create it every time.
