[rspec-users] [Cucumber] Running single feature from command line

[Mark Lynn]

FYI: I did confirm the problem was the RSpec issue Aslak mentioned. I  
did not see a nice solution without messing around with the RSpec gem,  
and am I familiar enough with the RSpec code to patch it at this time.  
I ended up throwing a constant in my support/env.rb file and testing  
for this in the RSpec spec/runner.rb file. Sloppy workaround, but I  
needed to move on.

Thanks to Joseph and Aslak for their comments.
