It should at least do so for the `paranoid' setting.  Not sending a User-agent 
at all is probably far easier to trace than sending a commonly used User-
agent.  Although the other headers might be a give away.

The `defcustom' could provide the user with a few default suggestions for 
popular User-agent strings.
