Shouldn't you read README.win32 first ? A quote from that document: "Net-SNMP is NOT a drop in replacement for the Microsoft agent unless the winExtDLL Net-SNMP extension is used (see the section 'Running Net-SNMP as a replacement for the Microsoft SNMP service'). " And in contrast you what I found in your proposal, no recompilation of the extension agent is necessary when using winExtDLL.
