That would certainly be a useful option. I wouldn't want to lose the possibility of building things into a monolithic agent, though. The more separate parts there are, the more chance of things going wrong. What I'd like to see is a separation (or partial separation) of the MIB module configuration, from the configuration of the overall package. If I want to add a new MIB module to the agent, it shouldn't be necessary to recompile the library as well! But I can't help feeling we're getting a bit sidetracked. I suspect that Thomas was asking for guidance on what should be done in the immediate future, rather than more significant (and probably longer-term) design changes.
