Yes, for commenters _and_ authors.  In fact, I don't care about
commenters for the moment.

I suppose I could just add an userpic_url meta field for the mt_author
table and then surface that as a new tag, and some ui in the edit
author page...

Is this the right way?

  * Add meta field to MT::Author
  * Add code to MT::App::CMS to allow editing of 
    the userpic_url setting
  * Add code MT::Template::ContextHandlers to define a new tag
    EntryAuthorUserPicURL that returns the URL
  * Modify the default templates to place the userpic in the
    appropriate place, probably at the end of the entry where
    everyting else is attributed.
  * Investigate the css used by LJ (and the style contest??) to make
    sure that userpics are styled correctly.  (I think this is a div
    element of class userpic and an img element with class userpic
    too..)

Am I missing anything?
