How does AgenPro2 deal with ASN.1 Macros in standard Mibs?

[Loridon, Martin]

Hi,

I am currently experimenting with AgenPro2 evalution license. After reading
the FAQ.txt:

AgenPro 2 FAQ
=============

Q: Why does AgenPro refuse to compile MIB modules
   containing ASN.1 MACRO definitions like the RFC1155-MIB,
   SNMPv2-SMI, SNMPv2-CONF, or SNMPv2-TC modules?

A: ASN.1 MACROS are *not* part of the SMIv1/v2 languages.
   MACROS are used to define the SMI language with ASN.1
   syntax. Thus, the modules above have to be treated as
   non-compliant to the SMI rules. In order to make them
   compliant, one has to remove all MACROs from the 
   modules.

I do not understand how the Mib compiler can deal with the macros like:
OBJECT-TYPE, MODULE-IDENTITY and many others.
Those macros have to be removed from the standard mib so the mib can be
compiled and become a entity of the MIB repository.
Although in the proprietary MIB we can still mention macro IMPORTs from
standard mibs???
