OAuth in Rails - google, twitter, facebook, connect for login like stackoverflow login

Question

Rails has the rest autho plugin which works well but is there a solution for incorporating twitter, facebook, google, yahoo, etc...

Seems like each on has its own plugin and demands and mixing them is going to be a mess.

This is for logging in users like how Stackoverflow gets things done not for using the robust features of the APIs.

What I want to do is do what stackoverflow did for login but in rails.
