[BUG] Routes matching a :controller /regexp/ raise NameError

#642 
#admin controller routes
map.connect ':controller/:action/:id', :requirements => { :controller => /admin[\/]?[\w\d]*/ }

GET /admin/doesnt_exist

will raise a NameError

when it tries to do,

"Admin::DoesntExistController".constantize

and hence we get a 500 error.

Really we want this exception to be caught,

and fall through to the next level,

and eventually hit a RoutingError

and a 404.

Had a look at the routing code,

but haven't quite worked out how to fix it.
