Agreed.  The recent change of hands of Test::Unit to Ryan Davis poses a 
great opportunity to do this.  I want to see RSpec and Test::Unit 
tool-compatible.  ZenTest, autotest, Test::Rails, heckle, and others all 
have their own special hooks to work with both, and it's time for that 
to stop.

I have some thoughts on the right way to do this, but we're off to have 
a baby in less than 6 hours, so I don't have time for immediate 
discussion.  This is, however, something I'm *very* interested in 
working on in the next week or three.

I'm going to collect my thoughts on it, and do some research.  When we 
get back from the hospital, I'll explain what I have in mind.  If 
anything.  And I'd like feedback.
