Well, the good news is that our pkgsrc system permits maintaining local
patches to 3rd party software.  We use these until our patches can be
merged back with the author/project.  

In this case, a patch could be maintained for our -rHEAD CVS development
branch ("-current").  When our next major release engineering cycle
begins (2.x branch), all in-kernel data structures changes will be
frozen and we can work with Net-SNMP to merge the changes.

The bad news is that no one [from NetBSD pkgsrc] is designated as the
owner of this particular entry; thus, there is no liaison between the
groups.

In the mean time, to solve this particular problem, we'll have to mine
all the CVS src/sys/* commit messages to see what caused this breakage
and how to approach fixing it.  

The last people to make NetBSD specific bits were

1) Patrick Welche <hardaker@net-snmp> 21 months ago (net-snmp cvs logs)

2) kim@netbsd.org 5 weeks ago ; christos@netbsd 6 week ago (netbsd
patches)

3) Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino via tron@netbsd.org 4 months ago (netbsd
patches)

4) Greg A. Woods via Masao Uebayashi 4 months ago (netbsd updates)
