  * Factory Function
  * 
  * This function returns the correct thumbnail object, augmented with any appropriate plugins.  
  * It does so by doing the following:
  *  - Getting an instance of PhpThumbLatest
  *  - Loading plugins
  *  - Validating the default implemenation
  *  - Returning the desired default implementation if possible
  *  - Returning the GD implemenation if the default isn't available
  *  - Throwing an exception if no required libraries are present
  * 
  * @return GdThumb
  * @uses PhpThumbLatest
  * @param string $filename The path and file to load [optional]
