I'll see if its possible to extend jQuery.client. Otherwise we may want
re-consider replacing this module with something more solid.

There's two major parsers I know work very well and have been proven to work by
"the mass":

* browscap [1] (supported by PHP's get_browser functionality)
  - Currently PHP only, and the source is a hugely inefficient .ini file that
isn't very future proof. Not the kind of thing we'd want to port to javascript,
not to mention the huge manifest.

* ua-parser [2] (forked from 
 - Currently in many languages, including javascript. Though nodejs, we'll have
to export the yaml file to JSON and figure out if there is any nodejs modules
we need to substitute.
