Yep, that's the one. I should know better than to use "easy"
when talking about any of this stuff. The VerseLogic article
points you to the plugin on SourceForge and it's a tgz archive.
Can this be used with Windows? I can't use Windows because of my
nerves and only tried this with Linux.

Note: I needed to update the php libraries to get
wpopenid.67.libs.tgz working on my site. Maybe a zip file with
the plugin and latest libraries would help.
