[wp-hackers] Adding user options pages

I'm working on an OpenID authentication plugin for Wordpress. The plugin
would allow registers users to associate URLs with their accounts, and
then login by proving ownership of those URLs using OpenID instead of
using the standard username and password authentication.
I'm fine with creating a new table to store the URLs and what userid
they're associated with, but I also need to give the user an interface
to manage these URLs. Is there a way to add an extra user options page,
like you can with admin options? As far as I can tell, there is no hook
for it. I get the feeling that this is coming in 1.6 (with the new
usermeta stuff?), but it doesn't seem like it is in the repository yet.
If there is going to be a hook, does anybody know what/where it will be
yet? This is part of a google summer of code project, so I can't wait
for 1.6, but I would like to mimic its interface as closely as possible
if I have to patch the 1.5 core code.
