For the same server, logging in using OpenID via different IP addresses creates unique identifiers #5

If you start up a server, and access it from two different hostnames: eg 
127.0.0.1 and localhost, you get different ids generated from the openid login 
process, and as such you will create extra users.

We need to either restrict the hostname that we access the page through, or 
we need to possibly use another identifier?

we can't have the DB creating redundant users. also, user name must be unique, 
can't
be "New User".

Now setting the contributorName to the email address if given from the openid 
provider. This should be unique, 
but is dependent on us restricting the openid providers that we accept login 
from.
