We do some internal magic to try and make sure all the older tables in
the older mib2 tree are still loaded even if the newer mibs support
most of the rest of the tree. It's best not to handle it yourself,
and let our magic take care of it (and write a thank you note to Niels
who I think originally implemented it if I remember correctly).

Go ahead and all the function to load additional mibs if you want, but
don't try to load the default set by hand.
