Well, there's one other issue, which I may not have mentioned before:

At one point you'd sent me an "smi.conf" file to get libsmi to load all
the relevant MIBs; I'd prefer not to require that, as part of the
process of installing Ethereal, the user have to edit a libsmi
configuration file.

I'm not sure Ethereal should supply its own configuration file, either,
as it doesn't know what MIBs libsmi offers to load.

Is there some way to tell libsmi "load all the MIBs"?
