Also picons these days look somewhat antiquated with its rather strict
limitation to the colormaps (IIRC, you practically have to go grayscale if
you want to use a real photo), and it would make sense to try gravatar
first and then fall back to picons.

That's what gravatar's default is for: if the image is not set, use
whatever is provided as default (with this patch, the picon).
