Interesting... Actually, I've already commited a graphical MIB
viewer to Mibble (contributed by Rajneesh Watsh). There are some
things waiting to be fixed, though, so version 2.3 hasn't been 
released yet. If you like to check it out, you can download the
latest development version here:

That is an interesting idea, although I'd call the function 
unload() to match the load() functions. Most people wouldn't
use this I guess, but for a MIB browser or an application
opening and closing several different MIB files it could
be an important optimization for saving memory.

Unfortunately I don't have much time for Mibble right now, 
as you might have noticed from the slow response. Anyway 
I've added bug #7616 to track this feature request. If you 
or someone else feels up to it, I'll gladly accept any 
patches as usual... ;-)
