------- Additional Comments from Mark Rowe (bdash) <mrowe at apple.com>
I'm don't think that it makes sense to store the user agent on a single
FrameLoaderClient instance.  The FIXME's indicate that you were also unsure
about this.  Setting the user agent on a WebView should affect all frames in
that view, rather than just the main frame.  The way that this is handled on
the Mac is that FrameLoaderClient::userAgent asks the WebView for the user
agent for a given URL, which it computes if needed or returns the overridden
value if the application has set one.  This will ensure that subframes get the
correct behaviour.

I'm going to say r- on this basis.

It doesn't make sense for this to be #if'd in cross-platform code in WebCore. 
It would live in FrameLoaderClientGtk.h in WebKit.  There's also no need for it
to be declared virtual.
