If we change urllib2 to start sending the "User-Agent" header by
default, we need to address two issues here:

- What we do to insert this change, as a lot of scripts that are
actually written and working will change their behaviour.

- What default to put (something like "Python 2.6.1 urllib2"?).

In any case, if you're seriously suggesting this, I suggest you to
start this discussion in python-dev.

(I'm +0 for the change, btw).

Thanks!
