what i usually do is adding autoload_path.
in config/application.rb, i append
config.autoload_paths += %W(#{Rails.root}/lib/validators)
then i put generic validators such as EmailValidator into lib/validators
directory
after that, all i need is
class SomeModel < ActiveRecord::Base
validates :email, :email => true
end
