No.
Before last August, the external-commnand routines were in
the MIB module library (libnetsnmpmibs), and were only used
by the 'exec' and 'sh' directives.

I moved them out into a separate library (libnetsnmpagent),
in order to make the same code available to the trap handler
as well - but this was still associated with the agent.

Robert's suggestion is to move them more centrally yet - as
part of the main SNMP library (libnetsnmp). I'm not totally
convinced, but it's certainly a sensible possibility.

Oh, I tag a lot of things as proof-of-concept.
It's never stopped Wes releasing them into the wild,
but I keep hoping....
