Oedipus gets arbitrary header and custom user agent support

We've just added support for supplying an arbitrary user supplied header to Oedipus using the -d option. At some point we will probably expand this to allow a user to specify more than one.

At the same time I added in support for custom User Agents (through a -u option), to allow the user to easilly select which browser to tell the web application that Oedipus is. By default, Oedipus will masquerade as Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP, but this can be changed to IE 7, Firefox 1.0, Firefox 1.5, Mozilla, or the user's custom user agent.

Presently, this is available in CVS only. Look for the relase coming up soon!
