Changing a user agent string [CODE INCLUDED]



I wanted to easily see how pages might appear differently using
different user-agent strings, so I wrote the following. If there is
interest to add it to the project, I would change the alist to a
defcustom.

If anyone on the list has any helpful experience to share regarding
useful user-agent strings, I would welcome hearing about it.
