Hi there - TimThumb is not a WordPress specific plugin so I am afraid I won't 
be adding WordPress specific code to it as that will break it for all the other 
websites that use it.

For example the following code : require_once('../../../wp-blog-header.php');

will only work if TimThumb is in a specific directory within a WordPress 
install. In addition that code will slow down the script massively as it will 
load WordPress and then connect to the database for something that shouldn't 
require a database connection.

The correct solution to the TimThumb with WordPress multisite is to pass the 
correct value to the src. Info on this here:

Hope that all makes sense.
