It  needs only the file auth_token.py and nothing else from keystone.
For dependencies on the server you'll need to have python-webob
installed and python-memcache/python-iso8601 if you use memcache
caching.

Hopefully packagers would create a sub-package from keystone source
with only auth_token in there easy to install on the hosts that need
it.
