It would be easier (and more useful) to personalize your error pages.
For instance:
	error_page 404 /40x.html;
	location = /40x.html {
		root   /var/www/nginx-default/default;
	}

The "Server: " header is what you're looking for. I'm not sure if
that's mandatory by some RFC, but you'd have to dig into other files.
If you search the archive you might find a 'patch' somewhere - whether
it still applies for current versions i don't know.
