[plug] 'Linux' with Windows (a little OT)

I wouldn't make that sort of presumption when we're talking about
MSIE... the way I would do it is to run the junkbuster proxy on the
Windoze machine (if you insist) as it allows you to specify an arbitrary
text string to be returned as the user-agent header.  See
