Of course.  I just assumed that module authors typically tend to avoid
adding C code unless it's unavoidable.  I didn't notice any XS code in the
LWP distribution -- is there any ATM?

No.  I guess the most robust solution would be to look at the files
directly to get sufficient info to allow using the wininet API to do the
full get / set cookie operation.  I would be inclined to try and avoid
using the API altogether, though, to avoid XS code.
