Just to be clear, I fully intend to add support to ubufox for adding an
extra header to the HTTP requests for certain websites (eg,
apt.ubuntu.com), which make it possible for those sites to identify an
Ubuntu machine. However, this will be restricted only to sites where we
really, really need it (it won't be sent out in every request), and it
would still require a server-side fix in apt.ubuntu.com too (to detect
the new header).

The header will probably be called something like X-Ubuntu, and have a
value equal to the release version (eg, 11.04). I'm not sure if we need
any extra information.
