I changed the definition of oid from

typedef unsigned long oid;

to

typedef uint32_t oid; 

a while back but that patch broke some precompiled HP managment module so it
got rolled back but it sure would be nice if sizeof(oid) == 4 was universally
true.

As it stands that patch is scheduled for Net-SNMP 6.0.
