[TYPO3-core] State of TYPO3 OpenID

[Søren Malling]

Hi Chritsian,

I liked the idea of a wizard for openid identifiers. I just tested it and
gave it a -1 (and a comment, explaining why :-) ) - I can't promise any
time for debugging, but I will of course test again with a new patchset!

Cheers,

Søren
