Install is easy, although if you want the WMI bits, you need to have the
Windows SNMP installed, just disabled, as Net-SNMP will use the
libraries it has.

As far as making a new class//template/zenpack, I'm working on that.
I'll get back to this thread when I have something interesting to say.

Well, their position on the windows port, from what I've read in the
lists today, is "Feel free to code it". There is quite a bit "missing"
from the Windows port, but at least it's something we can code with. As
opposed to Informant which is "as-is-binary-only-ware". Even the pay
version doesn't work with Win2k3 SP2, from what I've read, as of Aug 2.
