There is a simple way with php, a simple script or URL manipulation to build a URL for the gravatar image corresponding to an email?

Ex. http://gravatar.com/avatars/[email protected] and this return a jpeg or png image.

If there is no simple way like the example, what is the easiest way you know to resolve a url of the gravatar corresponding to an email?. Thanks
