No - that results in the SNMP-TSM-MIB being added to the
list of MIBs to load automatically. I.e. it's changing the
default configuration of the library.
It doesn't touch the man/Makefile setup, which is what
actually installs the MIB files into the correct location.
There are a significant number of MIB files which aren't
configured into the agent, and hence not loaded automatically.
But they are still *installed* by default, so that they can
be loaded if required.
metalliqaz's original complaint was that the UCD-IPFILTER-MIB
file wasn't being copied into the 'mibs' directory, so that it
couldn't be loaded at all.

Given that this implementation (ipf-mod.pl) is a perl extension,
there isn't a header file at all, so the 'config_add_mib' mechanism
simply isn't relevant here.
