Jaap> Ok, had some time to look into it. This is what I found:

Err....

This is from the net-snmp net-snmp-config.h file:

  #if defined (WIN32) || defined (mingw32) || defined (cygwin)
  #define ENV_SEPARATOR ";"
  #define ENV_SEPARATOR_CHAR ';'
  #else
  #define ENV_SEPARATOR ":"
  #define ENV_SEPARATOR_CHAR ':'
  #endif

Which means it should be doing this for you anyway, no (unless
net-snmp wasn't built properly)?
