I'm in the midst of figuring out how to do authentication with cookies.
The only way I can see to get ZPublisher to work intelligently with cookies
is to hack the "unauthorized" method of the ModulePublisher class so that a
login page can be called.

One caveat for your project: cookies will only work across servers if the
servers share a common domain, e.g.: foo.bar.com and baz.bar.com.
