We have a fix for this bug in our (forked) snmp implementation.  A
patch is included if you're interested.  The idea is that the
definitions are sorted so that any augment ends up after the augment
target; then the processing can be left as-is.

Unfortunately the code is not 100% correct; specifically it puts the
definition after the MODULE-COMPLIANCE so the compiler later complains
that the compliance reference is invalid (which is not correct (but it
works for us)).

In order to be really correct, the code needs to be completely
order-independent...
