One of these days I'll remember to check CPAN first.

Source now available:

Now uses Authen::TypeKey and is free of Movable Type code. I lightly 
modified it so that I can pass it a hashref rather than an object. The 
modified source is on my site too:

As with the LID proxy, it currently depends on Memcached to store the 
session tokens.

Next plan is to make a generic OpenID proxy class which can be 
subclassed to create proxies for other similar auth systems. It'll also 
have the ability to separately configure how the session tokens are 
stored and retrieved, with just storing them as temporary files on disk 
as an example.

However, if you don't mind running a memcached instance or doing the 
(quite simple) work to make it write the tokens to disk you are welcome 
to take and use this now. You'll need to change the base URL and provide 
a TypeKey site ID. I've hidden mine in an external file because it's not 
clear to me whether they are sensitive information or not.
