Hm.  If it does, we don't appear to have the manpage that mentions it,
which is odd - our maintainer says she got the source from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/net-snmp/, and I'd thought that was a
fairly mature package.  I'm going to be heading home fairly shortly (or
at least to a local pub :-) ) but I'll see if I can poke at it some more
this weekend.

OK, thanks.

Any thoughts on the problem with make depend that I ran into?  It just
sounds like something missing in a Makefile.in somewhere maybe?
