I believe this is a limitation of the client, not of the protocol.  So
a patch to the ssh client could fix this.

But you could fork it if you wanted.  It's about as easy to convince
me to install a different version of ssh than to install
yet-another-security-server.  (In fact, it might be easier to get me
to put in a patched openssh; at least then I can trust that it's
mostly openssh, and examine just what's different in your version.)

I'm not really sure about this.  ssh-add seems pretty easy.

Have fun,
