[Twisted-Python] Twisted and SNMP

Hi folks!

For people  wanting to use  Twisted to do  some SNMP queries,  there are
actually several solutions:
 - TwistedSNMP that depends on PySNMP, a pure Python implementation
 - pynetsnmp, a ctypes based implementation

I was using pynetsnmp but it segfaults on Python 2.4, even with a recent
ctypes. I have  then rewrite something similar in pure  C. It works fine
for me and people are free to use it:
 https://trac.luffy.cx/wiremaps/wiki/SnmpLibrary

It is  feature limited:  GET, GETNEXT and  GETBULK only (not  even SET),
SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 only, no walking, etc.  But it works fine and I use it
for grabbing very large sets of data without any problem.
