Test::Unit creates a new instance for every test case run.  When I want
the behavior you describe, I use class variables:

  class MyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
    def setup
      @@foo ||= 42
    end
  end

I'm not sure how I feel about your change, because a test suite can
contain instance of multiple test case classes.  In that case, which
startup/shutdown methods should get called and when?
