Helps fix #52

JWT tokens produced by ooth are not spec compliant - see https://jwt.io/. They contain the user profile data. As the profile becomes large in size, the JWT tokens also enlarge, making them unsuitable for sessionless authentication in which tokens are exchanged with every request.

This pull request is aimed at allowing use of ooth to make a sessionless authentication service, such as used in mobile apps which do not use cookies.
