Ah, I have forgot about this. Perhaps it should be stated more
explicitly that unknown provider (type) = no avatar image? Or do I
simply not see it?

Perl 5.10, Perl 6, Switch.pm... but it isn't something that we can use
in gitweb. Switch statement (spelled 'given / when') in Perl6 / Perl 5.10
is very, very powerfull (from what I have read).
But what I meant here is something like the following:
our %avatar_providers = (
'gravatar' => sub { eval { require Digest::MD5; 1; } },
'picon' => sub { 1; },
);
unless (defined $avatar_providers{$git_avatar} &&
$avatar_providers{$git_avatar}->()) {
$git_avatar = '';
}
Or something like that (we can use 'undef' for providers without need
for initialization). But that can be improved later, "in tree".
On the other hand side this solution wouldn't I think be able to deal
with specifying fallbacks using e.g. 'gravatar+picon' (gravatar using
picon URL as fallback i.e. "default" argument), or two images side by
side like GMane uses (if there are two), e.g. 'gravatar picon' or
'gravatar, picon'.
Food for thought. Not something to act on now.

No, it is O.K. We do similar thing in href(), deleting keys from hash.

This affects also the next patch in series.
