I've just finished breaking out most of the ASN.1 stuff from the SNMP library. In order to achieve what I wanted and 
keep as much of the old code as possible I had to make additional changes to the asn1 and ldap libraries. This is the 
reason why I took some time and why I didn't yet commit the asn1 library.

I have tested the new libraries with both my ldap scripts and the snmp scripts I wrote earlier and it appears as if 
they're all working as expected. Feedback, suggestions and testing is welcome as always.

Regards,
Patrik
