In new versions of ASP MVC you can use Package Manager to add a reference to WebActivatorX and then do something like this

using WhateverNameSpacesYouNeed;

[assembly: WebActivatorEx.PreApplicationStartMethod(typeof(YourApp.SomeNameSpace.YourClass), "Initialize")]
namespace YourApp.SomeNameSpace
{
  public static void Initialize()
  {
    DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule( ... the type that implements IHttpModule ... );
  }
}
