What is a GMD is not clear to me...

However, I plan to add a feature to itemtypes, the url to the image to 
show in front of it (in head, for next major relase, not for 2.2.x)
The url being either a "relative url" (= an image in Koha official 
release) or a "complete url (=an image belonging to the library).
The "relative url" being for libraries that are happy with official 
images, the "complete url" being for libraries that want their own images.

My idea being the itemtype code is local to a library, so we need a way 
to "map" itemtype to the image.

Let me know what is GMD or if my idea is good/stupid (& why)
