#20279: Functions defined in wp-login.php should be moved to a separate file to
make them re-usable

 Currently, there are a series of functions defined at the top of wp-
 login.php:

 {{{
 login_header()
 login_footer()
 wp_shake_js()
 retrieve_password()
 check_password_reset_key()
 reset_password()
 register_new_user()
 }}}

 If these functions were moved to a separate file, they would be reusable
 by folks who are trying to do more advanced things involving the login
 flow.

 As an example, if you want to create a page resembling wp-login right now,
 there's no easy way to do it without just duplicating everything from this
 file. Moving these functions means you can use login_header() and
 login_footer() to recreate the bulk of the page, then handle the "content
 block" yourself. This marginally improves the re-usability of the login
 system.

 Patch attached which does this.
