I did implement this, and it seems to work well.  I am listing snmp in
my application's included_applications key and starting the snmpa_supervisor 
from it's top level supervisor.  When Appname:start({takeover, Node}, []) is
called I use supervisor:terminate_child({AppName, Node}, AppSupName, Id) to
stop the snmp agent at the old node.
