[Radiant] Using Rails app within radiant

[Sean Cribbs]

As long as they are in app/models or lib/ of your extension, they
should be accessible; that is, they will be in the load path.  How you
integrate them into the Radiant application is another story... you
may need to create some controllers and views, or maybe some Radius
tags.  Both of those are briefly covered in the extension tutorial on
the wiki.
