we could replace CTRACE with HTAlert, but see below.

The following question should be answered first:
what to do on reloading if we change LYCookieFile?

        1) do nothing (till the next session)
        2) replace LYCookieSaveFile path if it was changed so we
           save cookies to the new file on exit
        3) replace LYCookieFile path if it was changed and:
                3a) save cookies to the old file
                3b) load cookies from the new file
                3c) clear cookie jar and load cookies from the new
                3d) save cookies to the new file on exit if no
                      LYCookieSaveFile set


Perhaps we should do 2), 3b) and 3d).     [currently do 1)]


Another question what to do when we switch persistent_cookies?
 - from FALSE to TRUE - seems no problem (load the cookie file now)
 - from TRUE to FALSE - save cookies now/on exit/never ?
