	Originally having just an extern_id in Bugzilla was fine, because you
couldn't "stack" Auth modules. Since the introduction of "stacking" Auth
modules in Bugzilla 2.19, external-ids-to-profiles is a many-to-one
relationship.

	So yeah, external ids should have a table:

	user_id, extern_id, auth_method

	Yeah, that's also the solution that I would suggest currently. And to
present somebody the option of making an email-bound account if they
enter an unknown OpenID.
