Autogenerating test targets with mkmf

Hi all,

I mentioned this on ruby-talk but no one responded, so
perhaps it's more appropriate here.  A long time ago I
suggested the notion of autogenerating test targets
with mkmf along the lines of Perl's Makemaker module. 
In other words "make test" would automatically run a
test.rb file and/or any tc_* files under the 'test'
directory (or whatever).

The response then was that we should wait until we had
a standard testing package included by default with
Ruby.  Well, we've had TestUnit for a while now, so I
thought it was time to bring this up again.

What do you think?

Regards,

Dan
