Express-mysql-session preventing passport deserializeUser from running

It was impossible to replicate the problem, so I prepared a working example. [Github repo.]

Its crafted for Openshift, since I saw the usage of its environment variables (it can be adapted with ease for other use cases).

I did some modifications to the original concept :

1. Replaced the old, deprecated (express) bundled middleware usages.
2. Using a Class instead of the self = this concept
3. Using Github instead of Facebook for the user login...
4. Included some basic functions to include new users to the db
5. Missing some original modules (can be included with ease)

I hope it can be useful as a starting point.
