The at_exit is currently one line of code; the content has recently 
been extracted in to the Test::Unit::AutoRunner class. Is that what you 
want? Or are you looking for something more/different?

I'm certainly open to suggestions for generalizing and/or extending 
AutoRunner; it is young and in need of schooling :-)

Hmmm... if 'testunit' clashes, I'd probably lean towards 'ruby-test'. I 
only included 'unit' in the name to try to disambiguate it, and I think 
including 'ruby' does that quite nicely.

Thanks for the feedback,
