I've been reluctant to provide this functionality in case it might be misused, but I needed it today.

When people are running the application locally, they should be able to customize UA, which is actually preferred. It happened with us in the past when someone else's MemGator instance was causing extra load to an archive and we were contacted because they did not customize the UA. Now, MemGator logs a message when the server is run with default UA.
