Initial impressions:
* netsnmp_get_agent_runtime() is a good idea. I think that should
be added regardless of the rest of the patch.
* I dislike that netsnmp_get_monotonic_clock might return
gettimeofday but I suppose that there isn't much to do about
that but maybe it is possible to get a better name for the
function? One could do heroics with clock and assume that
machines that lack clock_gettime have a stable clock tick but I
do not think it isn't worth the effort.
Was there any uses of gettimeofday that were looking for absolute time
as opposed to the relative time that CLOCK_MONOTONIC represents?
