I do understand you: you wish to install only one thing.
And I have wishes too: that I were dating Heidi Klum and that I had as much
money as Bill Gates. But they aren't likely.
Trying to incorporate SNMPD into your own project seems like a really poor
idea even though I see why you would want this.
But I recommend that you take a different approach. You may decide someday
that you really really do have to include snmpd with your project, but you
do not have to make that decision now.
Break the project into two parts.
FIRST: do the SMUX interface with a separate install of SNMPD. You have to do
this anyway in order to provide the functionality, so you may as well
work on the part you cannot avoid.
SECOND: if you really feel like you must package snmpd with quagga, then do
that AFTER you have the SMUX functionality working.
This way you spend your time working on the part you must have, and you might
change your mind on the packaging part later.
Good luck.
