Yeah, it's slowly getting there and I was looking at SNMP packages a while 
back, since I can see that having (some sort of) SNMP support would make it 
much easier monitoring some types of equipment.

Cool. Are the packages in such a stage that it would make sense to package 
them up so ASDF-INSTALL can grab and build them? From what I can tell, what's 
needed is an ASDF system definition file, a tar-ball with the relevant source 
files and an entry in CLiki.
