That would be very appreciated, thanks.

Most libraries out there can be used by just including their header
files, without the need to define any constants before. In other words,
they have no configuration-dependent code in their exported include files.

It would be great if SNMP++ and AGENT++ could be used in the same way,
or at least if it exported all the needed compilation flags via pkg-config.

Regards.
