0.  To configure a twitter app that uses OAuth, register the app at
https://twitter.com/apps.

1.  Generate a twitter.com URI to send the user by calling a
cl-twitter function (oauth-make-twitter-authorization-uri).  Send the
user there to log in

2.  The user clicks on the URI and then gives you access to their
account.  Then the user is redirected to your web site

3.  In the redirect uri there is an auth_token GET parameter (e.g.
http://yoursite.com/twitter-rebound?auth_token=xxxx).  Pass this into
the cl-twitter oauth-authenticate-user function and it works just like
the usual authenticate-user but with the auth_token instead of
username and password.  A user object is returned.


The functions I added are described in greater detail in their docstrings.

I do remember that being the case when I first tried out cl-oauth.  I
am not the original author of that library, though.
