System information

Fixed up SNMPv2 Support, now getNodeInfo tests for SNMPv2 support and then if available
caches as part of system attributes.
Added more MIBs to the OID files, and enhanced the existing MIBS to include other common
interesting things.
Fixed it so that the nodeType, netType, and role from the nodes file overrides the getNodeInfo
information.
NMIS is considerable modularised. This is to make the system a little easier to improve with new
changes only being added in one file not effecting other files. This includes new packages:
ip.pm
func.pm
csv.pm
ping.pm
web.pm (replacing htmllib.pm)
Added an IP subnetting program to assist with those nasty subnetting calculations.
Memory stats now contribute to health statistics.
Added a notification method for paging. There is now a sendPagerMessage to integrate into an
existing paging system.
SNMP_Simple now included in the NMIS distribution library directories (much easier).
This includes several minor fixes to the logic and some more considerable changes like using
SNMPv2 for collection on Routers and Switches. New options in the config file.
NMIS now produces a single metric which summarises the network.
The first version of the documentation has been added.
FAQ's added.
The PING routine seems to be the biggest problem and I am working on a better cross platform
fix but for now Linux users will have to apply there own patch as there seems to be some vast
differences to PING across Solaris and Linux.
NMIS has been tested and updated to work with RRDTool 1.0.27, I found some unexplained core
dumps with 1.0.28 so have decided to go back one and investigate those further.
Thanks to the Contributors for assisting in the debugging and development of NMIS.
