Say, does it let you choose which cookies (by name or somesuch) are
transported and which ones aren't?
One of the things the member-profile cookie will have, besides user-id and
password, is the location -- home/work/etc. -- for things like (optionally)
knowing the location on your hard-drive of pre-downloaded images (see
http://www.lugnet.com/magicache/ for a proof-of-concept). Maybe the
work/home/machine location should be in a separate cookie from the uid/pw
cookie.
