We avoid polluting the namingContexts attribute by using virtual attributes
(one for each MIB we support) on our root DSE which are generated/returned
on demand. A mechanism for reporting which attributes hold which MIB
contents might be nice, as currently clients just "have to know" what
attributes the server's using :-(
