Gravatar support #62

This is not really an issue, I have none. 
It would be a nice feature if the user imaged are automaticly downloaded 
from Gravatar.com. GitHub supports this, as well as some GUI tools (GitX, 
GitExtensions). 

Keep up the good work!

Could this be implemented by checking to see if an image exists for the user, 
if it doesn't then it spawns a background fetcher that tries libravater and 
gravatar for the images.  Then Gource can just pick up the image when (if) it 
appears.

Would probably need to have some locking, and a flag to indicate if an image 
isn't available.

Hi,

It could. I guess in the back of my mind I'm slightly wary of adding a feature 
that makes Gource start sending out lots of http requests. Maybe that's a non 
issue in 2011, but it's kind of stopped me pursing that so far.

There's a perl script for Git to get Gravatars if you haven't seen it:

+1 on this, our source control (RhodeCode) uses Gravatar, would be awesome, 
I'll probably just pull the images for our small development team manually.
