Expose data in /proc/net/snmp

[nathanielc]

I would like to get access to the information on each network protocol available in /proc/net/snmp on linux systems. I think adding a new type like NetProtoCountersStat might work I can provide a linux implementation that reads the proc file directly. The only utility to my knowledge that parses /proc/net/snmp is netstat -s but its output is not very parser friendly. Also /proc/net/snmp is defined to be an ASCII snmp format so its structure hasn't and shouldn't change anytime soon.

Thoughts?
