Sorry, I've been under the weather the past few days and am behind in  
email.

In principle, I support getting this kind of thing into rake.  I won't  
comment on the specifics of this proposal until I get a chance to look  
it over.  From the discussion, it sounds like people with more  
experience in native extensions than me are already providing feedback.

Regarding cucumber/specs, you can use what you like, but if its going  
to be part of rake, I will expect it to use Test::Unit.
