If my memory serves regarding PHP's namespace, you could build something
like this
$file = APP_DIR.'\'.$class;
if( file_exists( $file ) ) require_once $file;
into your autoloader. You may have to adjust '/' to/from '\\' depending on
your platform or you can use the constant DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR in the full
path to the class. Then you don't need add \ before your class to
instantiate. I don't know how the SabreDAV framework looks like but you may
want to look at how Zend framework loads their class as to give you some
idea what you may need to do in your autoload to circumvent SabreDAV being
not 5.3 namespace declaration. You may also want to take a look at
CodeIgniter's autoloading mechanism.
