GetOverriddenBrowser() for ASP.NET MVC 3

Question

ASP.NET MVC 4 has some nice mobile features which are replacing my mutant mobile view engines, but until it's production ready, I'd like to implement the browser override feature for ASP.NET MVC 3.

SetOverriddenBrowser() seems to set a .ASPXBrowserOverride cookie with an overriding User Agent that returns an HttpBrowserCapabilitiesBase object via HttpContext.GetOverriddenBRowser().

What would be the simplest way of implementing this feature for MVC 3 to make use of the mobile detection library, including 51Degrees.mobi?

There is a blog post on the 51Degrees.mobi site that you might find useful. Check it out here. It covers the implementation of 51Degrees with MVC 4.
