[TYPO3-dev] How to use the new autoloader feature?

It seems like I wasn't enlightened enough...

Case in point: in the scheduler, I have a test event class class 
"tx_scheduler_testevent" located in file 
t3lib_extMgm::extPath('scheduler', 'class.tx_scheduler_testvent.php').

I have added a ext_autoload.php file in the scheduler extension, which 
contains:

return array(
	'tx_scheduler_testevent' => t3lib_extMgm::extPath('scheduler', 
'class.tx_scheduler_testvent.php')
);

based on what I found in t3lib/core_autoload.php.

Now I'm trying to get an instance of that class using:

$event = t3lib_div::makeInstance('tx_scheduler_testevent');

That fails miserably with a "class not found" error in 
t3lib_div::makeInstance().

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks for any pointer
