You could also try smilint from the libsmi toolkit. It definitely reports
missing IMPORT clauses, and probably a lot of other errors you didn't even
notice.

FYI it does compile on WinNT with cygwin. I don't have an M$ compiler to
try.
Just make sure you are checking your set of MIBs (read the directions
carefully) and not the really clean set that come with libsmi.
