Sorry for the confusion. Typically, I do something like

ssh -t winkler@foo.org ssh-agent emacs

So my remote session is only emacs under an ssh-agent. I would like
to be able to run ssh-add from within the remote emacs iff ssh-add
is needed because I want to establish a connection to yet some other
host(s). (Of course, locally I am using shh-agent and ssh-add, too.
Yet that helps me only for the ssh connections that I do starting
from localhost.)
