Matthew Weier O'Phinney explains in this video that there are now 3 methods for autoloading :

• ZF1-style include_path autoloader ( old zf1 method, not recommended )
• Per-namespace/prefix autoloading ( new zf2 method, better )
• Class-map autoloading ( recommended and the fastest )

A class-map generator utility is mentioned in the docs that will take care of writing the /vendor/vendor_name/library/autoload_classmap.php for you.

The solution you found is similar to the one Matthew mentions in the video for the Per-namespace/prefix autoloading. Following the code structure in ZendSkeletonApplication, that code would go in the /init_autoloader.php file, rather than in the /public/index.php file.
