 Due to a limitation in JavaScript, web single sign-on tools (in this case
 Novell Access Manager) are unable to do a form-fill SSO authentication to
 WordPress.  The reason is that several of the form elements are named and
 ID'd "submit".  JavaScript gets confused, and won't execute the form fill
 code, which includes a "document.forms[0].submit()" function to enable the
 transparent login.

 This patch is very simple - it changes name="submit" to name="wp-submit"
 and id="submit" to id="wp-submit" in wp-login.php.

 Hopefully I made the problem clear - feel free to let me know if there are
 any questions!
