Subject: How to share a collection of model files across many apps?

Hi,

I've got three files that (a.rb, b.rb, c.rb) that currently live in
app/models.
I'd like these models to shared by multiple rails apps. These models are
associated with a separate database.

My rails projects are contained in a directory that looks like this:

projects/

proj1/ proj2/ proj3/ common/


common/
 a.rb b.rb c.rb


My idea is to do this:

In proj1/lib/, symlink to ../../common/

lib/
  common/   (which is a symlink)


My question is:
How do I tell rails to load the files pointed to by the symlink named
'common' in the lib directory?


I've tried:

cofig/environment.rb

include 'lib/common'

Thanks for your input.
EB
