Here I'm responding to http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2010/q1/534, a
response I accidentally put in the thread about LDAP scripts.

The snmp library, the asn1 library, and the new snmp scripts are ready
to be committed. I gave them another try with the newest version in the
nselib-asn1 branch and I'm happy with them now. You can commit them any
time.

Here are just a couple more things I thought of.

Is it possible to instatiate one asn1 encoder and decoder when the
library is loaded, instead of making a new one on every call to
snap.encode?

It looks like the snmp_walk function used in the scripts is useful and
general enough that it should be factored out into the snmp library. You
don't have to do that, and even if you do the merge should certainly
come first.
