Enabling winExtDLL helped. It enabled Platform SDK too, and
actually enabling only Platform SDK is enough (jump from ~0.7k
to almost 3.5k OIDs).

I thought that Platform SDK was needed only for winExtDLL/IPv6
transports, and as far as I understand winExtDLL is needed for
extensions written originally for Microsoft implementation of
SNMP agent --- which is something I was not interested in,
hence I did not try any of those options...

Thanks.

Do you think something like this would help others:

PS.
As MS deprecated their SNMP agent in favour of CIM/WMI so scenario
of net-snmp running without anything related to Microsoft SNMP
implementation will be probably more common in the future than
running net-snmp as replacement/coexisting agent.
