It's very easy.  If anyone wants to take a look at it and come up with 
something that looks better (my aesthetic taste is "challenged", you could
say) I'd be happy with it.  

I tried to clean up a little bit with my last patch -- some things were
being printed and not labeled as cookies.  It seems my opinion of 'clean'
isn't shared. :)

Just grep through LYCookie.c for the CTRACE() lines.
