[TYPO3-dev] Caring for t3lib_utility_Client

Good, but that's not the only issue. We need to consider 
backwards-compatibility too. It may be silly that t3lib_utility_Client 
returns "netscape" for Safari and Chrome, but this is then used in TS 
conditions. So if someone relied on something like:

[browser = netscape]

we must make sure that this remains unchanged. I was thinking that the 
"browser" property returned by t3lib_utility_Client remains unchanged 
and we add other return values, something like "browser_type" or whatever.

Cheers
