OK, I feel a little silly.  I didn't know that was available at all.
I agree.  Probably the cleanest way to do it is to push it in from
yummain.  You could do that in two ways:

1) by importing urlgrabber from within yummain (making yummain depend
   on urlgrabber directly is no big deal because it already depends on
   it indirectly via clientStuff)

   # <within yummain.py>
   import urlgrabber
   __version__='2.0'
   urlgrabber.set_user_agent('Yum/%s' % __version__)

2) by going "through" clientStuff

   # <within yummain.py>
   __version__='2.0'
   clientStuff.urlgrabber.set_user_agent('Yum/%s' % __version__)

They're functionally identical.  It's just a matter of which is more
aesthetically appealing :)
