---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 When using OL in a WebApp on a IPhone (started from HomeScreen), the
 current iPhoneOS use an other navigator.userAgent. The userAgent doesn't
 contain the "Safari"-String.
 {{{
 // website with safari
 Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_0_1 like Mac OS X; de-de)
 AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Mobile/8A306
 Safari/6531.22.7
 // as webApp
 Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_0_1 like Mac OS X; de-de)
 AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/8A306
 }}}

 On account of this, the browser-switch in OpenLayers.js won't work and the
 OL-files load not correct. Also own extensions included via a script-tag
 won't work, because of missing OL-functions.

 On solution to fix this bug should be to extend the browser-switch in
 OpenLayers.js and take account of the existence of the
 "AppleWebKit"-String, like in the applied patch.
 An other solution is to do nothing and wait and hope that the iPhoneOS
 sometime send the "Safari"-String in WebApp-Mode.
