Does it use the MIB in RFC 2564, or something else?

It's hard to say. You say it is a program. Is it C code? Is it portable? How
many systems has it been tested on?

We generally like to implement MIBs directly in the agent.

We have recently been talking about a 'contrib' section for the web site, and
it could certainly go there. But it would need closer scrutiny before it could
go directly into the package.

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
