By the way, the “EXAMPLES” section of the gpg-agent(1) manpage should be
modified accordingly to show the new SSH_AUTH_SOCK assignation.  In
fact, using gpgconf seems to be more robust than building the path
manually and would also be more portable across versions.

However, while ‘gpgconf --list-dirs’ lists the gpg-agent socket path,
the ssh-agent agent socket path is missing.  If it's safe to merely
append the gpg-agent socket path with “.ssh”, I guess it should be
documented in the manpage somehow (though adding a gpgconf entry for the
SSH agent socket would be cleaner IMHO).

Cheers,
