First, let me a assure you that ignorance, or at least the admission to 
it, is a de facto requirement here.  If we all knew everything then 
there would be precious little to write about.

Second, as the author of the Cucumber Backgrounder, I apologize for my 
evident bias in creating a solely Rails Centric guide.  This article 
was, in fact, my first attempt at such a thing and I completely 
overlooked that others might not approach testing with cucumber from 
outside the Rails Framework.  Over the next little while I will 
endeavour to correct that defect.

Third, that article was intended as a guide on how to get cucumber 
working inside a Rails project rather than a guide on how to actually 
construct tests/features.  In other words, it deals primarily with the 
mechanics of setting up the environment rather than with exercising the 
capabilities.
