-Wireshark can do some basic decoding of SNMP packets; it can also use the
-UCD SNMP library, version 4.2.2 or later, to do more sophisticated
-decoding, by reading MIB files and using the information in those files
-to display OIDs and variable binding values in a friendlier fashion. 
-The configure script will automatically determine whether you have the
-UCD SNMP library on your system, and will use it if it's version 4.2.2
