Hei hei, 

although this is already in master, I had a look in this (after
wondering why I could not get some values from IF-MIB).

I see some problems with the hard coded options. I'll explain one by
one:

Agreed.

> +	--disable-agentx-dom-sock-only \

Handled later.

> +	--disable-mib-config-checking \

Bad for the upcoming mib module handling. I'd like to see this enabled.

> +	--disable-mfd-rewrites \

This is a very conservative setting. However --enable-mfd-rewrites is
rather bleeding edge. Unfortunately as far as I can see, the good ideas
mentioned on http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/MIB_Module_ReWrites
are not implemented in 5.7 so maybe we drop this and let net-snmp find a
sane setting for each affected MIB instead of setting this globally.

> +	--disable-testing-code \

Agreed.

> +	--disable-reentrant \

Maybe make it configurable again?

> +	--disable-embedded-perl \
> +	--disable-ucd-snmp-compatibility

Agreed.

Did you have a look at `configure --help` of a recent net-snmp 5.6.x or
5.7.x?
