On second thought, me three. In that case, I propose that '-' does the prepend, which is how 5.2 and beyond works for mibdirs (and 5.2.3 and 5.3 will also work for mibs and mibfiles; this thread reminded me to sync that up).

So, we've gotten beyond the simple case, which means it's more work that I have time for. If nobody likes the '-' idea, then current functionality will stand til someone else is willing to tackle it.
