Thanks for the patch. I think we definitely have to change sth. here 
(and enable more than one TYPO3 installation per domain..).

I'm very sorry for responding so late, but I had no time before.

What do you think of having "automatically unique" cookie names?
So e.g. "be_typo_82fakfalgj", where the 82fakfalgj is computed by 
PATH_site (or sth. else..).

Advantage:
* No new configuration options, works out of the box
* We could seize the opportunity and rename it to something more CI 
compatible

Disadvantage:
* Moving a site results in all users being logged out (so anything 
better than PATH_site?)
* External login solutions would not work anymore / cannot predict, how 
the cookie is called
* ...?

It's just an idea to avoid new options, but I don't have a so strong 
opinion in this case.

Kind regards
Steffen
