Hi there. That's a nice solution, I think. Thanks for sharing!

There might be some drawbacks in this approach, like now you cannot 
require these files manually because it wouldn't create the correct 
module nesting, but for some applications I think your code is great.

Things that you probably could improve:
- There's a constant named TOPLEVEL_BINDING, you can use it instead of 
your own constant.
- You could backup the original const_missing and call it if the const 
is really missing:

class Module
  alias const_missing_orig const_missing
  def const_missing(const)
    ...
    else
      const_missing_orig(const)
    end
  end
end

- Also I think there might be a more elegant way to create the class 
from the file in the correct nesting. There might be a way to do it 
using some class_eval or something, but I'll have to test it.

TPR.
