Summary: run net-snmpd as service under win32

Initial Comment:
Hi,

with this patch it's possible to install net-snmpd as 
service under win32 (NT/2000).

Add the file service.c to the snmpd-Workspace and 
change the main() in snmpd.c into the following:

#ifdef WIN32
int snmpd_main(int argc, char *argv[])
#else
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
#endif

After compilation its possible to install net-snmpd 
with snmpd /install as service. To uninstall use 
snmpd /uninstall.

If snmpd is called from the console or WindowsExplorer 
it views a brief explanation what is going on and how 
this program should be called (from service manager).

If we want options to pass to a service, we need registry-
keys for each option we want to set and my service-handler 
has to read them and set them as argv's. And we need a nice 
program in the Systemfolder which is able to write the 
registry-keys. Maybe conf-options are read from snmpd.conf?

The second option, to add a cmdline -s or --no-service or 
thelike is only a small addition to service.c

With this patch, we can't set other options like running 
snmpd on some other port rather than default port(-p option)

Can this be modified to include the options?

This is really cool functionality, but I don't like the idea
of making it impossible to run the daemon from the console
-- this is useful when testing configurations, for example.

What about looking at argv[0] or something, and doing the
service initialisation iff it is == "snmpd-svc" or something
like that?  Or a command-line option?
