Hm, what would the long-term plan for how this should look like?

I've always really disliked where cachemgr ended up - its not really a
cache manager, more like a simple way of getting cache statistics. I
was thinking what would be needed for a more useful web front-end; it
might be more sensible to tidy up the SNMP registration code and
create some AJAX-y ways of gathering those sorts of statistics - ie,
have HTTP and SNMP front-ends for the same data backend.

I might end up doing that in Cacheboy.
