I think this is a different issue than what Jim is asking.  He is asking
if we are going to have something in the UserAgent string which
identifies this as an OLPC machine and perhaps allows services to be a
bit more resource sensitive.  It would also give us good statistics so
it is not all that much a bad idea.  Right now we just take the defaults
for the user agent but we might add vendor info in the future.
