Okay, i think we never get in compliance which cow is the best super cow, so i 
propose the following:
APT provides two standard cows: the "old" cow and the cow from Fernando Ribeiro 
accessible with "apt-get moo" and "apt-get moo moo".
This should be suitable for most users.

For the more advanced users: Possibility to dynamical add (or replace the 
defaults with) other cows with config settings.
Configuration items are "APT::Get::SuperCow::MOOCOUNTER::LINENUMBER"

Example: the default cow as a config entry which would be displayed by "apt-get 
moo moo moo":
APT::Get::SuperCow::3 {
1 "         (__)";
2 "         (oo)";
3 "   /------\/";
4 "  / |    ||";
5 " *  /\---/\";
6 "    ~~   ~~";
7 "...Have you mooed today?...";
};
(most likely borged by launchpad - but you get the idea)

Note: Quotes can't be used in this cow-construction-code, but you can
use escape characters... (colored cows anybody?)

See attached patch for implementation details.
