Yes (though I don't care much about the format - any kind of blob will

Yes - it just means more external code, whereas libcurl already has the code

I can deal either way, but I'd still like libcurl to make the decision on
whether the cookie applies for a request (i.e. I'd want to pass all the
cookies I have back in, one-by-one if necessary, and have libcurl use the
ones which are correct for this request).

:-) Thats exactly what I'd like! I share a bunch of handles between different
client 'sessions', and currently have to pull the cookies out one by one, and
choose which ones to put back (the hard part), in external code.
