Hi Gina,

I've updated the security protocol PR based on your comment (I agree 
with the suggested simplification), so that should hopefully be ready now.

I think I've fixed the formatting option PR as requested, with the 
exception of the const definitions in the snmp.stub.php file. I've 
extended the existing technique of using the values from the net-snmp 
library, and I think it works quite well (it avoids having to map from 
the PHP SNMP_* values back to the equivalent net-nsmp NETSNMP_* 
values).  All code in the php-snmp module checks that a valid value has 
been passed before use.  I will change this if you can see additional 
benefits (I may need some guidance on the correct way to achieve this), 
but I personally like the way the existing code works, and changing it 
would require modifying the original php-snmp code.

Can you please have a look at the PRs for the 2 items above and let me 
know if they are ready to squash and merge.  Once the above 2 are done I 
can rebase the third PR and get that ready for merging.

regards

Steve
