Hi Shane

That was my actually my solution in the end, but I didn't post back to  
the list.  To be honest, I don't think anything that messes with the  
global namespace is kosha, but I guess it's something we've got to  
live with.  (You often have to do worse stuff to test Rails, which  
makes me feel better.)

I actually summarised the few steps I needed to take on my blog:

Quite why I thought it was interesting enough to tell the google bots  
but not interesting enough to tell the RSpec list, I don't know...

Cheers
Ashley
