I think a better way to do this is to let SoupCookieJarSqlite create
the sqlite DB if it doesn't already exist (I just checked - this is
how it behaves).

Then use soup_cookie_jar_get_cookies() or
soup_cookie_jar_all_cookies() to check if the XS cookie is set, and if
it isn't, add it with soup_cookie_jar_set_cookie() or
soup_cookie_jar_add_cookie().

Where you add the cookiejar to the session, it would also be worth
adding a comment explaining that by default, cookies are not stored
persistently - we have to add a cookiejar at that point so that they
get saved to disk.
