Allow setting of the Google Analytics Visitor Id from msaf api

description

I have a mixture of Silverlight and aspx web pages which have embedded Google Analytics tracking code. The problem I have
encountered is that the Visitor Id sent by the Google analytics tracking code doesn't match the one sent by MSAF. Apparently
MSAF doesn't use the browser cookies to store/access the unique Visitor Id. As such the analytics don't get allocated to the same
unique user and this really messes up the data. I'd like to request that a method be added to MSAF which would allow me to
set the Google Analytics Visitor Id value to be used when posting to GA. This should be a no brainer. Just change a method/property
from private to public. Then I can just read the __utma cookie value store by the GA tracking code and assign that to the Visitor Id property
of the Google Analytics class.
Thanks.
