BTW what happened to the builtin shortlog? It is the last Perl script I 
use regularly... (should make people happy who are stuck with Activision 
Perl...)

BTW. both Perl version and builtin shorlog have email->real name translation
table built in. In Perl script version it is in __DATA__ section, and we
could update it using Inline::Files module, in C version it was in table.
But in fact this list is project specific. Shouldn't we make it customizable
(::sigh::, yet another file in $GIT_DIR...).

It already reads from .mailmap which could be tracked as part of
the sources (if it is project specific it would be better if it
can be shared among members).
