Summary: Improved context, agentX support

Initial Comment:
Context Bug:

When registering a MIB under a non-default context,
there were some peculiar problems because the
subtree_context_cache was not initialized with the root
subtrees(.0, .1, and .2) as is done with the default
context.  I updated the code so that the root trees are
created prior to loading any other subtrees.

AgentX Context Support:

I added support to the AgentX code so that now a
subagent may register MIBs using a non-default context.

The same MIB can be registered under different contexts
and using AgentX subagents.

I have only dealt with distinguishing the contexts
using the context name field and not the contextEngineID.

The updates were tested on Linux Red Hat i686 platform.

The patch was created against the publicly accessible
CVS repository as it stood on Thursday, August 15, 2002
at 12:00 p.m. MST.  The patch was created using the
following command in the net-snmp root directory:

cvs diff -u > agentXContextUpdates.patch

Is there a good reason why this item is still/again open?
Looks like it should be closed for good now that 5.2.x and
5.3.dev seem to have proper context support.

Just main line.  I think this is more than should go into 5.1.x...  5.2 is 
almost out anyway.  I'm closing this.  If the submitter feels that the 
current CVS (or 5.2.pre2 and above) doesn't incorperate everything, 
*please* let us know. 
 
This is one of those cases I wish I would have looked in the patches 
daatabse before implementing something myself ;-(

Wes, you added agentx context support, right? did it just go
into 5.2 cvs, or did it make it into V5-1-patches as well?

The AgentX context support doesn't apply to all  AgentX pdu
types.  Register and Unregister are fully supported. No
context support exists for index allocation, and I haven't
looked at the others.
