keychain - http://www.gentoo.org/projects/keychain.html is a nice
implementation of the multi shell ssh-agent concept described for
example in the SSH-FAQ or in
http://koeln.ccc.de/~drt/wiki.cgi?AdvancedSSH

This patch fixes some stilistic interferences between keychain and me. 

1) the scratch files for the enviroment are placed in ~/.ssh/ instead
   of the users homedir. That's what the ~/.ssh directory is for.
2) there will be no color output at all
3) keychain is mutch less chatty
