I added Vary headers to PHP-4.0.5+ when using transparent output
compression (Vary: Accept-Encoding).

A brief discussion with the mod_gzip guys didn't get anything
going (I added a patch to add Vary to my port on
OpenBSD, but they haven't imported it afaik)

The new development stream of the Horde/IMP software uses Vary
for user-agent now, as well as the PEAR code.

Basically, we're getting there - just need to break out of the
chicken-and-egg loop :) Pimp Vary headers where you can!
