Subject: Re: unusual rake behaviour

Here's a patch for Rake that provides a workaround for the 1.8.2 
Test::Unit behavior.  The patch is based on rake/testtask.rb from Rake 
0.4.13.

81a82
 >         name_hack = "$0=\"#{@name}\""
83c84
<         ruby %{-I#{lib_path} -e0 
#{SEP}#{required_files}#{option_list}}
---
 >         ruby %{-I#{lib_path} -e'#{name_hack}' 
#{SEP}#{required_files}#{option_list}}

It overrides $0 with the name of the Rake test target, so that 
Test::Unit never sees the '-e' that was causing problems.

Cheers,

Dave
