Yeah - actually I saw it, and tried it out.  Although I can't lie -  
it didn't work well.  I can't imagine any translator really working  
well.  How would you add mocks + stubs + clear specifications + 1  
test-per-spec in a translator, and do it intelligently?

But, for what it's worth - it did what I expected it to do, and would  
be a good, but crude way, to translate a lot test::unit code to rspec.

Thanks for the tool (and have you looked into the old rspec one -  
test2spec, I believe it was called)?
