Construct a system for handling SNMP Traps, such that traps are scanned and appropriate ones forwarded for notification. (more details later)

This is a requirement for the new datacenter monitoring scheme.

    PySNMP has support, but no Python-native MIB compiler. No MIB compiler means everything has to be in numeric format (or ask ucd-snmp to translate for you). Not a huge issue. Extra credit includes code that inquires the ifDescr field when it gets a trap from a host, so a human can figure out what's going on.

    This will probably be a separate server to avoid bloating the main qos_server, as was done with the repot server. It could even be distributed entirely separately...
