Let's do it. As mentioned on IRC I believe oauth needs some crypto algorithms
present so we probably need to make oauth support dependent on an underlying
crypto lib pretty much in the same way NTLM currently is.

I guess a good start would be to find out a good test server to work out the
quirks against so that we can get the basics working, and then create test
cases for the normal test suite after that.
