Right, but if you do it in your own namespace, you can then version that
class, use it in all your projects... and then keep it up-to-date with
API changes on the original.

Then the issue is that there isn't a 1:1 relationship between the class
name and the filename, and you have two options:
* If you want it on the include_path, have it in My/Constants.php
somewhere on that include_path.
* If it's application-specific (which, based on your filesystem
positioning, appears to be the case), create or modify your resource
autoloader. If we go with the latter, try adding the following
method to your application bootstrap:
protected function _initAppAutoloader()
{
$al = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array(
'namespace' => 'My',
'basePath' => dirname(__FILE__),
));
$al->addResourceType('constant', 'constants', 'Constant');
}
Then, I'd rename your file to application/constants/App.php,
with the class 'My_Constant_App', and you should be set.
