I checked in a fix last week that uses a semicolon-separated list by
default under Windows.  If this is the one you're thinking of, it will
be in 0.10.8.  You're correct about pre-existing colons -- if they're
present in your preferences file you'll have to replace them with
semicolons.  You can also set the preference to "ALL", which will load
all of the MIBs present in the "mibs" directory.

BTW, the "snmpcmd" man page on the Net-SNMP web site specifies

    SNMPv2-TC:SNMPv2-MIB:IF-MIB:IP-MIB:TCP-MIB:UDP-MIB:SNMP-VACM-MIB

as the default list of MIBs to load.  Should we update packet-snmp.c to
match this?
