Can you suggest a good user-agent scrubber? Many user-agents strings
have various degrees of private/semi-private data stuffed into them.

I've looked at publishing user-agent stats for Wikimedia site before,
but realized that I don't have enough knowledge to safely canonicize
them without throwing out a ton of information. (I.e. I could break
down IE vs Firefox vs Opera vs Safari; but if you want to know about
less common user agents I'm not quite sure what information can be
safely released)
