I would think just have the spec_helper.rb file for the specs try to load 
config/rspec.rb or something along those lines. Similar to how rspec for 
rails just loads the rails env. It would then be up to the user to do the 
necessary loading in that file. There's really no way to know what crazy 
way someone might layout their projects.
