Steve,
GD 1.x vs. GD 2.x cannot be selected at runtime as things are currently
setup because there is one "gd" interface with a few compile time
differences between 1.x and 2.x.

It *is* possible to have GD, Flash, GDAL and potentially other output
mechanisms all compiled in and selected at runtime. The IMAGETYPE directive
directive selects which is used in a particular run.
