[syslinux] Baking Cookies

[Santillanes, Russel]

FYI -- Did some more digging. These two changes lets SENDCOOKIES behavior work as desired/intended.

Hmm... well adding the __export stopped the "undefined symbol" error from showing up when I add "SENDCOOKIES" in the config, however I'm still not seeing any cookies being sent to my webserver.

Any ideas on how to further debug? (if you want to send me the debug compile options privately that's okay too)

Hmm... I wonder if we are missing an __export in http.c:

__export void http_bake_cookies(void)

If you have the ability to rebuild Syslinux, could you try adding the
above and see if it helps?
