local-openid allows users with shell accounts on servers to authenticate  
with OpenID consumers by editing a YAML file in their home directory  
instead of authenticating through HTTP/HTTPS.

Changes:

local-openid is now a modular Sinatra application. The RubyGems  
installation is fixed up so the “local-openid” runner works  
out-of-the-box. There are also documentation improvements  
and a new mailing list at removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid
