I did something similar to make my Mozilla Seamonkey appear to be

Has anyone else read this short tech news piece?

Thats easy, the just set up their Apache to show a "slightly modified"
version string, thats all.
A few years ago I had my local squid cache set up so it would replace
the UserAgent string in HTTP requests proxied through it with something
like 'TerminalWeb 1.5; Multics; 36 bits' - it was very interesting to
see which poorly created web sites this broke (because they relied on
the UserAgent string to show you browser specific content).
