after ./configure you can run make and it will compile passkey-agent for
you. It will always be compiled, but never be installed.

Once the devices are paired. You have a link key. The hcid handles this
for you. You need the passkey agent only for entering the PIN code.

Actually I expected that someone else will write the appropriate passkey
agents for their desktop systems. So in the end I did for the one that I
use. Only the Nokia 770 Maemo platform had its own passkey agent.
