The OS X package for Wireshark comes with its own copy of libsmi (all the
libraries it requires that don't come with OS X are supplied in the Resources
directory of the app bundle), but doesn't appear to come with libsmi's MIBs or
PIBs.

The packaged version of Wireshark doesn't show those warnings on my home
machine, but that machine has libsmi installed from source (for development
purposes), so it has the MIBs and PIBs under /usr/local/share.  It *does* show
those warnings on my work machine, which *doesn't* have libsmi installed from
source.

We should probably try packaging the MIBs and PIBs from libsmi in the OS X
Wireshark package, in Contents/Resources/share/{mibs,pibs}, and have
Wireshark/TShark tell libsmi to look, by default, for the MIBs and PIBs in the
appropriate directory.  Note that the appropriate directory's path is *NOT* a
constant - it should be derived from the path of the Wireshark executable, so
that the app bundle will be relocatable.
