Usage
Install nginx and fcgiwrap, copy the example config to the nginx configuration directory and edit it according to your needs. Other webservers and cgi spawners will also work, of course.
libravatarserv looks in each of ${XDG_DATA_DIRS} for a directory named
libravatarserv. You can force a different directory by setting the environment
variable ${AVATAR_DIR}.
The image files are named like your email address, no file extension. Example:
user@example.com. If you want to deliver a default image for unknown email
addresses, name it default.
