    Log Message:
    Support BBSID-based network-user avatar lookups and via MD5 digest

    SBBSecho v3.12 exports the originating system's BBSID via a new
    "BBSID" kludge and this allows avatar lookups (e.g. of FTN-posted
    messages) using this solution.

    Also, support MD5-obscured name (i.e. real name) avatar lookups.

    Give sysops an opt-out of the new auto/default identicon feature

    Set modopts.ini [avatars] auto_identicon = false if you don't want this new feature: where identicons are auto-generated for any users/names, e.g. authors of messages, uploaders of files) that don't have an explicitly set (or default) avatar.
