rfc: mib dir .index

-Coders,

one of the things that always strikes me with net-snmp is the fact that
it handles an ".index" file in the mib directories. I'd actually expect
vendors/packages to complain to us since maintaining an .index file in
the main mib dir (like /usr/share/snmp/mibs) most often violates the
Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. From FHS 2.3, chapter 4: "/usr is
shareable, read-only data [...] and must not be written to".

Has anyone ever thought of replacing the ".index" handling with
something better?

Please share your thoughts. Feedback highly appreciated.
