Savannah could set cookies for both savannah.gnu.org and
savannah.non-gnu.org. That can be done with a few changes in the php
scripts. But a lot of users will have their browsers set up to refuse cookies
that do not belong to the same site that issues it, making those changes
useless.

I think our best option at this moment is to move theme prefs from the cookies
into the database (as it was originally in SourceForge). I know that Mathieu
had some good reasons to switch theme prefs from the database to a cookie, but
at this moment I think it is a high priority to make life easier for Savannah 
users.
