On a brand new merb app, its clear that Spork isn't going to work too  
well for me then!

Using RSpec
Loading Spork.prefork block...

Looking at the way that you're dealing with Rails, and given my lack  
of understanding of Merb internals, I'm not sure that I'm going to get  
too far, tbh.

Any suggestions as to where to start to review this to see if it _can_  
be made to work? Or should I just wait until Merb becomes Rails 3 ;-)
