  Huh ? Right now the plugin code creates the socketpairs for talking to
the the standalone player.

  That environment variable doesn't exist, but CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE is
what's in the man page.

  Ah... Since I do now have code that can read the cookies, it should be
easy to write that file of cookie data. Actually, since the cookie data
in the plugin is a string, I could probably pass them on the command
line via an option, instead of the disk file. The read cookies are
already in the right format, so CURLOPT_COOKIE should work.
