user agent string database

Hi
Can anyone recommend a good, up-to-date, searchable UA database? I've
just googled a few but the ones I've found have either been out of
date or just long lists of known ones with no real descriptions of
what they relate to.
I'm after something that will take a string such as:
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; FunWebProducts; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)" and suggest what browser, OS, service pack/patch level and what extras they have installed. I know that it can't be 100% accurate and some parts are obvious (e.g. browser) but it would be nice to just throw the string into something and have a description come back.
If it doesn't exist, would anyone else find it useful? Building a system to do this wouldn't be too hard, it would be populating it that would take some time and effort.
