I guess the point is that it *is* specialised to work with lwIP: the snmp code 
created by Axon provides support for a private mib but leaves it to the user to 
correctly code the structs so that snmp access works and complies to a MIB text 
file that one might need to feed into a 3rd party snmp tool.

Most snmp stacks provide a MIB text parser and personally, I think our private 
MIB code is pretty useless without such a tool. However, while I would welcome 
such a tool to be shipped with lwIP, I don't have the time to test it right now.
