Well I don't trust autotest because the same tests pass when i run them 
from textmate and they fail when I run autotest.

The dubbious specs are all for a specific model but some of them are 
very basic such as testing validates_presence_of in which the model code 
is obviously good and yet the spec fails on rake or autotest.

So I've been running my specs just on textmate but I would like to use 
autotest too.
