The agent example hasn't changed much lately but I would recommend to
always test using the very latest libssh2.git code.

Run:

ssh-add -l

See if the above lists your identities.

Then run:

ktrace ssh-add -l && ktruss

and compare the output with

ktrace ssh2_agent && ktruss

Note that SSH identities may be magically managed by Keychain on OS X
and so far noone has contributed Keychain support to libssh2. If you
need it you'll have to code it.

If ssh-add -l works then you can of course try to extract any
Keychain patches for OpenSSH from Apple and rework them into libssh2
changes. That would be cool!
