Please remember that the code generated by mib2c.scalar.conf is
dealing with scalar *objects*, not scalar instances.   So it will be
checking for an instance subidentifier of 0,  and rejecting anything else.

If you try using this template for processing a element within
a table (which won't have this .0 instance subidentifier), then you're
likely to run into major problems.

As Robert said, this is a somewhat idiosyncratic approach,
and you'll be pretty much on your own.   But if you go down
this route, make sure you use netsnmp_register_instance
rather than netsnmp_register_scalar
