[step2] A library for OpenID via popup

[Chris Messina]

Breno, this is great!
Quick question: did you consider putting the OpenID Provider selection into
the popup? Obviously this is great if you either know the provider or want
to support certain providers, but what if that part was deferred to the
popup?

i.e. click "I want to login" --> popup --> choose your provider --> proceed
through OpenID flow --> onSuccess --> return to opener
