You would need to find whatever quirk it is you are targeting and create a function or otherwise create a scenario where that quirk is exposed, and use that to populate some identifier.
eg: jQuery detects support.opacity by creating a <div style="opacity:0.5"> and then later testing the opacity value or lack thereof. I find it cumbersome, actually. My most recent example was position:fixed. I know only IE6 can't handle this in any way shape or form, but would have to some dom creation and calculation to find out if the current browser "supports" position:fixed. Fortunately, I know IE6 is the only one serving FAIL on position:fixed, so I just check the UA.
