- Alter GermanBashGrabber to use LWP::UserAgent

This is a fun one. Some time back GermanBash (for reasons
entirely outside my imagination) started to deliver broken HTML
to user agents which identified as the perl LWP library. Not
to all those agents, mind. Just some. For example, using the
GET command line script (which is based on LWP) would produce
valid HTML, including a quote, but using LWP::Simple::get from
a script (on the same machine) would not. I'm not too sure what
to make of this.

If this was meant as a countermeasure of some kind against quotesite
I'd really, really like to hear from the guys running GermanBash.
