I had a look at the code - I wouldn't use it. The code is ugly and has a
really big bug: The function that searches the class tree is called on
every __autoload() call, which pretty much defeats the purpose of having
a cache file. It's easy to fix (just a missing 'else'), but nevertheless
that shouldn't happen.
