Ok, I just took a look at it and what happens there? As far as I can see
there is an autoloading function registered for Zend explicitly.

And finaly that's what I've done too (maybe in a less sexy way):

class Tx_Feierabend_Hunger {

public function __construct()
{
  $this->initializePearIncludePath();
  spl_autoload_register(
    array('Tx_Feierabend_Hunger','pearLoader'), true);
}

protected function initializePearIncludePath()
{
  $extensionPath = t3lib_extMgm::extPath('gpqg');
  $pearPath      = $extensionPath . 'Resources/Libraries/PEAR/';
  set_include_path(
    $pearPath . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path()
  );
}

public static function pearLoader($className)
{
  $parts = array();
  if (strpos($className, '_')) {
      $parts = explode('_', $className);
  }
  $extensionPath = t3lib_extMgm::extPath('gpqg');
  $pearPath      = $extensionPath . 'Resources/Libraries/PEAR/';
  $classPath = implode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $parts);
  include $pearPath . $classPath . '.php';
}

}

Thanks for your help nevertheless,
Hauke
