Hmm... a Rake builder would be trivial to write, and a refreshing 
alternative to the Ant and Maven builders currently in CruiseControl.  
Configuration might look something like this:

     <schedule interval="60">
       <rake target="test" />
     </schedule>

I'm sure the CruiseControl community would welcome such a contribution.
