bin/start-ssh-agent: Don't proceed if the SSH programs aren't around.
Otherwise, when I enter an schroot session, there's no `ssh-add'
installed, so the `is the agent running' test /fails/, we delete the
socket, and then fail to start a replacement agent because `ssh-agent'
doesn't exist either. The result is that I've now lost my socket for
my (otherwise completely functional) agent, and there is sadness.

el/dot-emacs.el: Advise `rename-file' to rename buffers at the same time.
I remember investigating this hack a while ago and finding that it
looked very difficult. This time, it's nearly trivial. What gives?

dot/emacs: Add bindings for `dired-jump' and `dired-jump-other-window'.
And the necessary autoloads. They ought to work already, but don't on
Emacs 24 for some reason.
The bindings are standard, except for `C-x 4 j', which ought to exist
but doesn't.

dot/emacs: Sort the `devhelp-...' bindings into the correct order.
