[OpenID] Changes to the website coming soon ...

[Byrne Reese]

You are right. Just please don't mistake the difference between, "I want a
'Powered by MT4' logo on the front page" with "I want to see us use software
that supports the protocol we have put so much of our time and energy in."

Remove the generator tag, remove any indication of the source of the
software, obscure the software as much as you want - it is after all only
fair.
