I agree in principle, but instead of "hacking" the new code for the old
options we may also ship a *wrapper* program (in C/sh/whatever) that
translates old to new options and calls the new code with this. This'd
have the advantage that users could *choose* whether to use the old or
new options, especially in mixed 5.2.x/5.3.x environments or when
migrating existing scripts. snmpnetstat in 5.2.x and earlier would
default to old options and 5.3+ to the new ones. What do people think?
