Hmmm... I'm beginning to suspect that it's caused by the fact that the 
agent++/snmp++ code seems to use the old, non-standard stream libraries.

I see files being included like ios.h, iostream.h, etc. On most Unices those now 
just point to the real <ios>, <iostream>, etc. files. But in Windows they really 
are different (as, in fact, they should be, since the semantics for the old AT&T 
stream libraries is somewhat different from the STL semantics).

So since I always use the proper STL library header files, I get a collision 
with the old library header files used by agent++/snmp++.

If I'm dead lucky (ha!) just changing all the file names in the agent++ and 
snmp++ code will fix everything. But that's not a task for the late evening 
(which is the time here). Maybe I'll get brave and try it over the weekend.
