[SNMP4J] SNMP Agent

[Frank Fock]

Hi Eric,

I understand that in the industrie you have fixed schedules.
The current code base is near to work, although VACM is
missing yet. As the interface to the instrumentation code
(thus the good old "stubs") are IMO the most important
interface for you to know, I will send you those classes in
private email next week.

This week I will have to finish SNMP4J 1.1 which adds
a lot of convenience functions and fixes a flaw in the
Session interface. The sendPDU() methods will be deprecated
and replaced by send() counter parts where the synchrounous
one will return a ResponseEvent intead of simply the response
PDU. The ResponseEvent will be extended to contain the peer
address of the response sending entity and the TransportMapping
through which the response has been received.

The old methods will be still supported in the Snmp class although
they will be marked as deprecated.

I hope these changes are OK for the SNMP4J users - I wanted
to "fix" this issue as early as possible to avoid even bigger problems
later.

Best regards,
Frank
