Subject: Added reusable reloading support through the inclusion of the
 Relodable module that all subclasses of ActiveRecord::Base,
 ActiveRecord::Observer, ActiveController::Base, and ActionMailer::Base
 automatically gets [DHH]. Added auto-loading support for classes in modules,
 so Conductor::Migration will look for conductor/migration.rb and
 Conductor::Database::Settings will look for conductor/database/settings.rb
 [Nicholas Seckar]. Refactored extensions to module, class, and object in
 active support [DHH]
