Summary: init_mib ignores mibdirs from snmp.conf

Initial Comment:
when defining "mibdirs" in snmp.conf et al, they are 
ignored. Instead, the compiled-in default mib 
search path is used.

The bug is in mib.c:init_mib() and 
mib.c:netsnmp_read_mib_directory().
netsnmp_get_mib_directory ignores the confmibdir 
variable set by the handle_mibdirs_conf config 
handler when setting up 
It seems odd to me that initialization of the 
datastore is initiated by netsnmp_get_mib.
I would rather do that in init_mib()

As usual: patch attached ;-)

   oops - that's true because nobody called
