[Code] Library to help become an OpenID Provider

  Hi,

I have a currently active website that I want to easily turn into an 
OpenID provider.
I already have many active users, with their usernames and passwords 
stored in a MySQL database.

I've looked around at the OpenID libraries out there and I get lost 
every time.
First, few have support for "providers", as most of them are for consumers.
Most of the provider libraries are stand-alone, meaning that they don't 
connect to my existing user table.
And the very few that could theoretically handle my case have no 
documentation and no active community to help 
(http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.openid.provider.html) and 
(http://github.com/openid/php-openid).

Could anyone recommend an easy way to implement this? A tutorial or a 
library?
I'm trying to turn my site into an openid provider so that my users can 
access our upcoming sister site.

I posted a StackOverflow question with no success:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3208905/creating-a-openid-provider-in-php

PS. It would preferably run in PHP, but java would be ok if very easy to 
setup.
