So that all LibVLC apps and such will show a bull-shit User-Agent. And if
they support other media frameworks than VLC, there is no way to know which
one is in use.

That totally stink for debugging, tracing and working around broken
software, which *oh* *surprise* is the purpose of the User-Agent field (see
RFC2616).

This change is a complete piece of crap.
