The following gist is a sample SplClassLoader implementation that can load your classes if you follow the autoloader interoperability standards proposed above. It is the current recommended way to load PHP 5.3 classes that follow these standards. PSR-0 Final Proposal: https://gist.github.com/l3dlp/34b15f3a1df2b899c3588f4e5d71cc96
