I'm in the midst of looking over this patch.  The thought occurs to me  
that perhaps ~/.rake shouldn't be a file, but a directory where you  
can drop xxx.rake files into.  This allows stuff from separate sources  
to be integrated without hassle.

Thoughts?

Also, I see you added '.rake' to the list of rakefile names.  I'm not  
sure that is necessary, since we never find ~/.rake when searching for  
rakefiles.
