Hi Ryan,

I specify :class_name in the router so that I can generate URLs that
look like:

/thread
/thread/new
/thread/5/edit
etc

while having the requests dispatched to the ForumThreadController
(forum_thread_controller.rb).

Unfortunately, due to namespace constraints, I can't just call the
controller ThreadController (or at least the associated generators
yelled at me when I tried).
