Well, there is a maximum exile name length. So you can cut off the 
exile name parser at that point if you dont find a comma, and give up 
(i forget how many characters it is). That might break if you get 
thanked by a GM-thing, like "Angry mother sasquatch", but thats not 
that big of a deal.

also, there is the CL_Players file, which has every name the exile 
has seen since approx 9/1/99. We might be able to use that somehow, 
the format is fairly simple.
