[feature] merge registration and login

[rubenfonseca]

Hi. It would be very nice if it was possible to merge the login and registration together. Example:

As a user who never used the website.
When I login with openid.
The user is automatically created.

This way, I don't have a registration phase. The user simple logins, and if it doesn't exist yet on the database, the user is created.

I tried to play with the existing code to implement this behavior with no success. Does it make sense?

I tried to override "self.find_by_openid_identifier" on the User class as shown in http://gist.github.com/130921 .
Although it seems to work, I loose the openid registration fields since map_openid_registration is never called. I think I'm getting closer...

This appears to have been solved by gaizka. http://github.com/gaizka/authlogic_openid

Although worth noting that Gaizka has a bug when you have a valid OID provider but invalid directory on their server. Fix for that: http://gist.github.com/272655

Is there a way to do this without modifying authlogic-oid?
