login from Solaris do not have this kind abilities.
Also I don't see this kind abilities in oldest login.c code
(mantaining shadow in CVS was started in 1996).
So in next shadow (4.0.8) will be removed text about abilities to allow
pass envoroment variable in login prompt.
I'm identify text fragment about this abilities in
src/{de,hu,pl}/login.1 but I need help on update ja/login.1.
