You may want to consider looking at my custom login handler, which moves
the login page out of JSP into Velocity. That's not as advanced in terms
of having access to the all the SP taglib stuff, but it makes customizing
for different SPs very simple using conditional macros, as long as the set
of SPs to customize for is small.

As for logout, good luck. You can't make the web work the way it's no
longer meant to.

Handling bookmarks is pretty much done by detecting the error messages
involved in error.jsp and telling them to stop bookmarking.
Unfortuanately, bookmarks and the back button are not distinguishable, so
it's one problem.

We're doing the same thing here, but I haven't had time to look at the
proposed page yet, so I guess I would suggest looking at the
Unicon-donated default page in 2.4 as an example.
