Library Class not found in Laravel 4

I am migrating a working production L3 site to use L4. When a controller calls a library class (app/libraries/adminthing.php), I get the error Error: Class 'adminthing' not found in /var/www/l4/app/controllers/AdminController.php line 15

start/global.php

ClassLoader::addDirectories(array(

    app_path().'/controllers',
    app_path().'/models',
    app_path().'/database/seeds',
    app_path().'/libraries',

));

I have also done composer dumpautoload after adding the library class. What else did I miss out?

You can autoload folders from composer.json. If you have some custom classes in a folder under /app you can add the folder to composer.json, and after this the classes are auto loaded. 

"autoload": {
  "classmap": [
    "app/commands",
    "app/controllers",
    "app/models",
    "app/database/migrations",
    "app/database/seeds",
    "app/tests/TestCase.php",
    "app/customlib" <-- add this
  ]
},

Then composer dump-autoload, and you can use the classes!
