[AGENT++] SNMP++ instrumentation

you're doing nothing wrong, snmp++ just does not collect statistics, as
a manager should react to errors immediately. I don't think that
statistics are useful here, as you would have to store statistics for
each target. And for the following usage...

.. I think the application (your code ;-) can do this much better than
any code within snmp++.
