I'm late on that, my apologizes. This year was busy at work but I now
have some time to get some fun with GD. I like to prepare the base to
add new internal formats in the next days. Once it is in there, to add
new formats will be much more easier.

I will post a proposal here as well as creating a branch for our experiments.
