Hi,
I have checked in code to translate OID names from SNMP MIB:s if not found
in the OID names data base (Should that code be included in oid_to_str()
instead?).

This also raises the question on how to handle MIB:s.
 Currently we include the ones from the SNMP library. How should we add
other MIB:s to the distribution if we want to? Another option is to have a
separate downloadable set of MIB:s.

Should we have our own "MIB" with translations we want? Should that replace
the "names data base"? We could read that file if the SNMP library isn't
available.
