Just a couple of tweaks to this. I think it is useful to check if
there is already an agent we can talk to and also to make the file
per-host. What I do at the top of scripts is (something like):

      ssh-add -l >/dev/null 2>&1 ||
            [ ! -f $HOME/.ssh/agent_env_`hostname` ] ||
                . $HOME/.ssh/agent_env_`hostname`

If anyone is interested, the script I run from my .bashrc (for
interactive sessions) to start or attach to the agent is too big for
this margin, so I have put it at:
