The workunit generator should be sending these if that's all it wants  
back... I should probably regenerate a bunch of workunits with a  
header like this?

Again, the workunit format already supports being able to include an  
if-modified-since if the workunit generator included them... it  
doesn't currently because it's "dumb" right now and not aware of any  
timestamps to compare to :)
