For embedded systems it would also be great if the native snmp could 
monitor ipfw pkts/bytes accounting just like an existing MIB/patch for 
ucd-snmp do; Would be even better if it could monitor PF accounting too. 
  Today we work hard to fit ucd-snmp in a 32MB flash card using TinyBSD 
(www.tinybsd.org) just because of this patch instead of contrib/'s 
bsnmp. This snmp thing along with the firewall accounting MIBs is 
specially interesting for embedded wireless systems.
