Example usage in visual.php:

	Okie dokie. I still need to:
		Add .bmp support to thumbnail generator
		Add unused thumbnail check
		Add additional thumbnail generation features
			Alternate Center Cropping
			Scale + Crop
			Rotate + Crop
			Thumbnail complexity check (Uses rotation and alternate center to assure thumbnail contains at least a given number of unique pixels)
		Add multiple sort setting
			Alphabetical
			Date Modified
			User defined order preference
		Try to find a way around the layered .png bug
			<Update>It appears that the bug is not in the layers, as they are not present in all the images, but rather that <b><i>most of the images have alpha channel backgrounds</i></b>, with black content. <b><i>The black content does not appear against the page's black background.</i></b></Update>
				--Another update-- The clear areas read black
		Find some way to deal with image titles longer than one thumbnail's width
		Incorporate gallery with Tom's slideshow code (This will require some modification on both sides)
		Have image data be stored in a .xml file, just to be fancy (And to gain experience with php's XML functions)
		
		-As an unrelated note, don't forget the php optimizing script idea (I thought I might be in the programming mood after reading this)-
		
		Oh! Tidy is awesome, but kind of sucks when I want verbatim output. I wish you could set some directive at the beggining of the script to define wether or not the output should be repaired by Tidy.  : )
		$meta_thought = "I geuss I could load the extension manually, but I'm not sure if I can turn on and off auto-tidy at the same time, as that is specified the php.ini file";
