Some network applications require it.  Not very many, but some that are
really useful.  The most useful one I know of is NeDi, a network
discovery, management, and inventory program that I have ported to
MacPorts.  I don't know if it is an early trend or not for network
programs to require it, but if one needs it it is beyond most people's
ability to get it all working (including me) from manually compiled source
so they are out of luck.  I actually think it is a coup for MacPorts that
it is now supports PHP SNMP support and I went ahead and took commit
liberties after a time because it is the only reasonable way for Mac users
to be able to use such programs.  Previously, I had used an old PHP4
binary that supported SNMP but it just gets farther and farther out of
date and dictates use of a matching Apache binary that also gets further
and further out of date.
