That allows parallel download from most browsers.
To avoid caching issue, server choice is "profile_id" based so that
avatar from a specific user will always be served from same server.
Introduce new configuration parameter:
$config['avatar']['server_modulo'] = 5;
Very easy to implement using, for example, DNS wildcard.
For example, if you have following configuration:
$config['avatar']['server'] = 'static_rrdns_.domain.tld';
$config['avatar']['server_modulo'] = 5;
Then, when building avatar's URL, domain will become, depending on profile_id:
static0.domain.tld
static1.domain.tld
static2.domain.tld
static3.domain.tld
static4.domain.tld
For various reasons, it's nicer to have a class for theme-file paths
and such. So, I've rewritten the code for determining the locations of
theme files to be more OOPy.
I changed all the uses of the two functions in the module (theme_file
and theme_path) to use Theme::file and Theme::path respectively.
I've also removed the code in common.php that require's the module;
using a class means we can autoload it instead.
Moved the common_avatar_* functions to the Avatar class. Typically
either as methods on the object or as static methods. Replaced all the
uses of the functions in other modules.
Another huge change, for PEAR code standards compliance. Function
headers have to be in K&R style (opening brace on its own line),
instead of having the opening brace on the same line as the function
and parameters. So, a little perl magic found all the function
definitions and move the opening brace to the next line (properly
indented... usually).

Another global search-and-replace update. Here, I've replaced the PHP
keyword 'NULL' with its lowercase version. This is another PEAR code
standards change.

The PEAR coding standards decree: no tabs, but indent by four spaces.
I've done a global search-and-replace on all tabs, replacing them by
four spaces. This is a huge change, but it will go a long way to
getting us towards phpcs-compliance. And that means better code
readability, and that means more participation.

I added a new class, Memcached_DataObject, that will (optionally)
fetch data out of a memcached server if it's available. This only
works on 'staticGet'.
Methods that write to the database (insert, update, delete) will clear
and set the cache correctly, too.

Extracted the code for setting a new original avatar to the Profile
class, and moved some of it to Avatar, too. This makes it easier to
have the same functionality whether an avatar is set using the profile
settings (for our users), or on a remote subscription. Necessitated
changing the filenaming function to just take an ID.

Did considerable work on the settings section.
Redesigned the DB to allow avatars. Each avatar image has a size and
an URL. There can be multiple avatars per profile, just different sizes.
Added accessors in Profile for avatar. Show the avatar in lots of
places, where it makes sense. Constants for avatar sizes in common.php.
