Kinda, eww uses url.el to fetch webpages.  Url.el has no direct variable to 
set the User-agent.  But if you set `url-privacy-level' to `paranoid' no User-
agent is sent at all.  The function `url-http-user-agent-string' is used to 
create the User-agent string.  You should be able to override it, to send 
whatever User-agent string you prefer.  Maybe we should add a variable for the 
user agent to make it easier to customize.
