The thing is, the GUIs don't actually need any special-casing at all.
They can remember the user's answers for *all* form fields.
It's only the command-line openconnect(8) which has special cases for
providing the username and password via command-line options.
Besides... if I look in your auth-globalprotect.c it looks like you're
generating the field names out of thin air anyway. If you had used
"username" and "password" instead of "user" and "passwd" then this
wouldn't have been necessary at all, would it? :)
