I'm a fan of JanRain's libraries, which you can find here:

If I recall correctly the 2.x versions (currently 2.0.1) are the ones 
that support OpenID 2.0, and are therefore better to use.

Yahoo! makes use of the "directed identity" feature of OpenID 2.0 where 
the user enters the provider's URL rather than his own. In this case, 
the thing to enter is "yahoo.com".

A user can enter his personal Yahoo! URL, but by default they contain a 
long, opaque hash and are thus difficult for users to remember.
