Fedora 11: /var/net-snmp, Fedora 12: /var/lib/net-snmp. I've added a note about
it.

Again, rpm on Fedora 11 does not define %python_sitearch, I've added a comment
there.

This one is broken upstream, libnetsnmpagent.so does not link with
libsnmphelpers.so, but needs its symbols. In fact, libsnmphelpers and
libnetsnmpagent need symbols from each other :). I've filled a bug upstream and
I'll look at it eventually.

Strange, it looks like --enable-as-needed does absolutely nothing. I'll check
it with upstream, this looks like a silly bug.

Thanks a lot for the review! Would you kindly approve it?

"Building option" removed.
