I think that:

[ -z "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ] && eval `ssh-agent -s`
[ -z "$SSH_AGENT_PID" ] || ssh-add -l >/dev/null 2>&1 || ssh-add

Is as effective and a lot more concise. 

On the other hand, fragile heuristics like:

> export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=`ls /tmp/ssh-*/agent.$SSH_AUTH_PID`

have no place in our documentation.
