 *
 *  This handler helps you implement a table by doing some of the

 *  
 *  This handler truly shows the power of the new handler mechanism.
 *  By creating a table handler and injecting it into your calling
 *  chain, or by using the netsnmp_register_table() function to register your
 *  table, you get access to some pre-parsed information.
 *  Specifically, the table handler pulls out the column number and
 *  indexes from the request oid so that you don't have to do the
 *  complex work to do that parsing within your own code.
 *
 *  To do this, the table handler needs to know up front how your
 *  table is structured.  To inform it about this, you fill in a
 *  table_registeration_info structure that is passed to the table
 *  handler.  It contains the asn index types for the table as well as
 *  the minimum and maximum column that should be used.
