I'm on linux, ruby-1.8.2, with (gem) rake 0.5.4.

I'm doing this in my rakefile:

  Rake::TestTask.new( :xmltest ) do |t|
    t.libs << "test"
    t.test_files = tf
    t.verbose = true
    t.options = "--runner=fox"
 end

And getting this (without the modification to rake_test_loader):

  % rake test
  (in /home/gfast/cheese/rscm-accurev)
  ruby -Ilib:test "/opt/ruby-1.8.2/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.5.4/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb" "test/t_scrubio.rb" "test/t_load.rb" "test/t_filterio.rb" "test/t_xmlmapper.rb" "test/t_command.rb" "test/t_api.rb" --runner=fox
  /opt/ruby-1.8.2/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.5.4/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb:5:in `load': No such file to load -- --runner=fox (LoadError)
          from /opt/ruby-1.8.2/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.5.4/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb:5
          from /opt/ruby-1.8.2/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.5.4/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb:5:in `each'
          from /opt/ruby-1.8.2/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.5.4/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb:5

The problem is in the way rake_test_loader.rb handles the command
line, not rake itself.
