it is possilble to implement it, but we don't have a simple API for it.
What you are doing on the client side is to connect to the socket of the unix
socket from the agent and "forward" the request over a ssh channel. The server
sets up a unix socket and set the evironment variable for the unix socket so
the clients on the server know where the agent is.
