Title: Use the current Thread's classLoader for ClientFactories and KeyStrategies

I have a situation where I want to be able to provide an implementation of the ClientFactory. Class.forName doesn't support this situation well as it won't resolve classes external to this project (such as classes in a Grails project). Simply switching the currentThread's class loader makes this extension point considerably more useful.
