Can you give a summary of what all this new code is supposed to do?


Moves the MIB directory index files into (a subdirectory of) the N/S persistent
directory - i.e. under /var, where files are allowed to change.

What's problematic (and arguably a bug) is the management of the .index
file in the /usr file system. See

It's not appropriate to consider this for the 5.4 release, and I'm
unsure whether it would belong in the 5.4.x line at all (let alone
back-porting it to 5.3.x).  We could perhaps consider offering it as
an official patch - at least once it's received a bit more
examination/polishing.
But the basic functionality seems to work OK.

Comments welcome.

Dave
