Select an imagefield/filefield from a content type to serve as user picture (avatar). On selected content type node update, such as when a user saves his content profile, user picture is being pointed to the first file in the filefield.
The module integrates into user picture settings form and hides irrelevant settings. All user picture properties such as file size and dimensions requirements, default image are managed by imagefield/filefield.
Inspired by #470004: User avatar via CCK imagefield.
