BrowsCap project dead; how to remove from the code (or replace with local option?)

The Browscap project is currently no longer functional, and programs using it will need to bypass the update checks to continue working as expected; there is a replacement PHP local Browscap project (http://alexandre.alapetite.fr/doc-alex/php-local-browscap/index.en.html), but I couldn't get it working within Genetify. Anyway, to strip out Browscap, comment out everything in recorder.php, after this line:

$visitor = array('ip_address' => $ip_address);

to the following

//TODO: convert database column names
    // $visitor = _camel_to_underscore($visitor);

If anyone knows how modify genetify to work with the php_local_browscap instead, please let me know.

I will take a look.

I think the best fix is to remove Browscap completely, or to turn it off by default with the comment that it is a defunct library and a replacement is needed. The reason I required it originally was to provide debugging diagnostics by browser.
