[AGENT++] SNMP++ 3.3.6 building problem

the MacAddress class is missing the following member function:
  virtual Address& operator=(const Address &val);
If you declare it and implement it using just copy-paste from
  SnmpSyntax& MacAddress::operator=(const SnmpSyntax &val)
you can compile and use it.

This typo or copy-paste-error is still in the current release. You can
fix it easily in the configure.ac script.
