Issue Summary
This small patch implements PHP autoloading so you just need to use Zend_* classes into your modules, no need to initialize nor anything.
It will work for any class whose name starts with 'Zend_*' and needs PHP > 5.1.2. About PHP autoload, see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.spl-autoload-register.php
It also gets rid of the global variable, which I don't see why it's needed, and makes it a static one.

Thanks a lot! I love it.
/*** Autoload implementation
*/
function zend_autoload($class) {dsm($class);
// Just for classes starting with 'Zend'
if (strpos($class, 'Zend_') === 0) {
zend_initialize($class);
We probably don't want that dsm in there ;-) . Applies cleanly to HEAD too!

Actually, we might want to look into Autoload Drupal module and possibly add it as a dependency.
#3
The issue with Autoload is that you need to define all classes previously (hook_autoload_info), while in this case we are doing class autoloading using only class name.
This patch is compatible with Autoload, actually I'm using both in the same install.
#4
Why not just use the Zend_Loader to do the heavy lifting for Zend?
#5
This is what the 2.x branch and Drupal 7 versions already do.
