See the current trunk of devstack which creates the creds and has an 'openrc' file that is sourceable and allows euca2ools to work again. There is also a bit of code in nova-manage to export users projects and keys to keystone which uses it. We don't really do anything with them in the nova code per se.

Oauth keys, ec2 secret and access, etc.  I hacked the ability to add the ec2 credentials in because we needed it to make the ec2 api work in nova.  The idea was that more robust support would be added through admin api extensions later.
