ssh-agent stores its PID to SSH2_AGENT_PID (in the case of ssh2) or
SSH_AGENT_PID (ssh1) environment variable. You could find a way to
either to directly kill it directly with that (kill $SSH2_AGENT_PID)
or, if the variable isn't there anymore when you're logging out, store
it to a file during login (echo "$SSH2_AGENT_PID" >
$HOME/.ssh-agent2.pid) and kill it with that (kill `cat
$HOME/.ssh-agent2.pid`; rm $HOME/.ssh-agent2.pid).
