RE: mib2c generation of snmpNotifyFilterTable code

I think my overriding concern is to minimise merge issues when we
periodically upgrade to subsequent releases of net-snmp. I am more than
happy to feed back any bugs I might find but the grey area is knowing
exactly which part should be fixed.

Personally speaking, the old-school code in
snmpNotificationProfileTable.c is a lot easier to follow than the
auto-generated snmpNotificationFilter files.
