New issue 2257 by asmeurer: solve([x**2-1],[x,y]) should be the same as
solve(x**2-1,[x,y])
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2257
See comment 6 of issue 1673 (quoted below):
While this works as expected:
In [1]: solve(x**2-1,[x,y])
Out[1]: {x: [1, -1], y: []}
Giving the equation in a list produces an error:
In [2]: solve([x**2-1],[x,y])

I think this should be handled consistently.
