 The attached patch includes the following updates:


 * Adds current versions of Opera Mobile (8.60 and 8.65).  Windows Mobile
 will not run Opera Mini natively (it's Java).  I am not sure if "Opera
 8.65" and "Opera 8.60" might coincide with any desktop versions and
 incorrectly identify them.  If so, at least on Windows Mobile 5, the
 catch-all mentioned below will still work for these browsers.

 * Adds Minimo - The Mozilla firefox mobile browser for multiple platforms
 (including windows mobile).

 * Adds a generic catch-all for anything passing "Windows CE" in the header
 information.  All three browsers (Opera Mobile, Pocket IE, and Minimo)
 passed "Windows CE" in the header information.  If for some reason the are
 not explicitly caught (new version, etc), the "Windows CE" will
 succesfully select the mobile theme.  I tested by commenting out the Opera
 and Minimo options and the catch-all succesfully selected the mobile theme
 for all browsers.  I have not tested any other browsers, but if they pass
 "Windows CE" this catch-all should work for them as well.


 Reasoning: Opera Mobile will support Digest Authentication whereas Pocket
 IE will not.  I could not get Minimo to work properly while passing
 authentication, but it worked when I disabled authentication on apache for
 testing purposes.  Pocket IE successfully worked when authentication was
 turned off as well.
