[racket] Browser module for OAuth use?

I have some code that does this for OAuth2 (but so far only the subset 
that Google implements, which is probably different from the subset 
Facebook uses). You can see the code here:

   https://github.com/rmculpepper/webapi

The part that implements the web-browser interaction is in 
private/oauth2-web.rkt. It starts a little web-server that catches the 
OAuth2 server's redirect to localhost.

I plan to make that a PLaneT package eventually, but not soon, so feel 
free to borrow the code.
