[Building Sakai] 2.9.x Browsers Supported, curious

[Gao Jun]

Unfortunately, IE6 has 25% usage in China now [1]. When we updated Sakai 
from 2.8 to 2.9 about a month ago, we found many users couldn't use 
Sakai friendly.
In my university, especially in some public computer lab, IE6 is the 
default web browser. And the lab administrator is too lazy to update it.
So, we have to change the code to meet this situation.
Sakai will check every request, and read the User-Agent head. If it's an 
IE6 browser, the defaultskin would be rendered, otherwise, the neo-skin 
is rendered.
I think this method could be used to handle other situation of lagacy 
browsers.
I'll post the solution to JIRA after some code arrangement.
