Patch to add "MSIE 6.0" to user agent string

I don't expect this patch to be accepted, but it's here to prove a point: 
WebKit is trying to act like MSIE in certain circumstances, so why not
advertise it in the user agent string?

Note that this change prevents the drop-down menus from being painted on the
web page itself, although there are still x/y (event?) offset issues when
actually drawing the drop-down menus

Another approach would be to add "stealth" features to document.all and other
commonly-used MSIE-specific DOM features so that browser sniffing code won't
identify Safari+WebKit as MSIE.  This has already been implemented by Firefox.
