Circa 2008-08-29 15:11 dixit Jim Knoble:

: (2) Always use SSH_ASKPASS, ignoring whether DISPLAY is set and whether
: a controlling tty exists:
: 
:     SSH_ASKPASS="always:/path/to/file"

  [...]

: State (2) requires command-line options
: for ssh-add or ssh-agent.

That should be, "requires NO command-line options for ssh-add or
ssh-agent".
