[Building Sakai] SkinnableLogin.java

[John Bush]

We were bit by the same thing.  My understanding is the SkinnableLogin
is there to replace the long standing issue that the old LoginTool had
the markup hardcoded in the java code, the SkinnableLogin moves this
out into a template.  I think the LoginTool is no longer going to be
used.  It would be much better moving forward when changes like this
are done that we'd simply extend the existing class with the new
version and override the behavior we wish to change, as that sort of
approach has much less of a chance of causing folks that have changes
pain.  But then again maybe its own fault for having our own local
mods.

In any event it should be a pretty simply event to move whatever you
have forward.
