It certainly is possible to achieve.

In catalog.cfg:

	SaveExpire   1 month

Then just have the mv_save_session variable set when the user submits
a form that does user_update (like the return or refresh action). It
will set the expiration time for the cookie.

It might still be better to add the new facility, though.
