Currently, you have to instantiate a Mib instance for each context and
add instances of the appropriate MibEntries to it. Then you have to
dispatch the requests in the main loop of your agent to the different
MIB instances.

For the next release (3.4) I would like to change the Mib class as follows:

* add a new method Mib::add(const OctetStr& context, MibEntryPtr)
* change the (protected) lookup methods like "find_..." to recognize contexts.

Any suggestions?
