Please switch to Net-SNMP 5.6 rc1 or 5.4.3. The source archives of both
versions include a freely redistributable version of snmp-winextdll.h.
Building winExtDLL with any of these versions is significantly simpler than
with version 5.5. For the download locations, see also
http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/download.html.
