For those new to the story, OpenID is incredibly insecure.  See for example
 http://marcoslot.net/apps/openid/
 http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/hijacking-openid-enabled-accounts/
 http://www.techafina.com/posts/openid-benefits-and-risks/
 http://kuza55.blogspot.com/2007/01/insecure-openid-features.html
Moreover, it's hard to use, as shown by usability testing at Yahoo:

In short: if you care about your data or your identity, stay far away
from OpenID.

Now, if you absolutely must use OpenID, there are people working on
making it more secure. For instance, Google is giving it a shot; see
http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2009/05/google-openid-api-taking-next-steps.html
But I doubt the wine community wants to go there.

Better to implement a plain old shared password database between
our four services.
