>             Project: jclouds
>          Issue Type: Improvement

> Give your users the ability to _prepend_ a custom user agent. So if the existing user agent is "jclouds/1.8.1 java/1.7.0_51"
> Provide a method for your users to easily prepend their own user agent so they can further customize it. e.g. "users-app/0.1.2 jclouds/1.8.1 java/1.7.0_51"
> This will give cloud providers much better insight into how people are using jclouds. This should be well documented and part of examples that are written for jclouds.
> It could be set like,
> {code}
> ComputeServiceContext context = ContextBuilder.newBuilder(PROVIDER)
>    .credentials(username, apiKey)
>    .userAgent("users-app/0.1.2")
>    .buildView(ComputeServiceContext.class);
> {code}
