grr... nobu... you're only allowed to point out ONE new thing to me a  
day. You already showed me the two arg expand_path form (which is  
still bending my brain).

Blame eric. He said it didn't work (and maybe last time we tried it,  
it didn't... I dunno).

Does anyone use testrb? Maybe it is used more in Japan? I'm serious  
when I said that I've NEVER paired with anyone (in the tens! :P) who  
uses it. We use autotest. We use rake. We use plain ruby... we don't  
ever use testrb.

I don't want it. I don't want to maintain it. It is just more code and  
in MY use cases it is completely superfluous.
