This login form should also allow them to supply a different email to continue through registration.

New page is being added. During registration it'll check if the email address is already registered (this only works for sites that supply an email address, so all except Twitter). If it's determined the email is registered it'll send them to this page telling them it already exists and asking them to either supply a new email address or login to link (if linking is enabled; a basic login form will be rendered). This prevents it from just erroring out that the email address is already in use and not even giving them the change to register or link.
This can not be displayed in the popup however due to the various redirect parameters and the various other redirects that need to take place. The popup is used for the authorization process only.

This will replace the registration incomplete page. It will also display before the user is stored to the database where before it stored the user then displayed. So this usage will also work for Twitter for example, which does not supply email address.
