Re: [fw-mvc] Default autoloading directory

Well as simple as it may look like, Could be a little hard for a person who is new to ZF. So probably an example for a module application and it's usage will be a plus. If anyone made something like that and would like to share, Please do. Just wondering the way other developers develop there application.

Thanks again for the info. Vince.

Well, the modular directory structure has been supported since 0.6.0,
and front controller plugins have been supported since 0.1.0 -- those
two approaches already work.

Zend_Application will simply tie things together a little more
explicitly and make some of this stuff easier.
