Thanks Aaron,

Didn't notice runtest.rb at all while it has been there from version
0.1.8. There're two small differences between these scripts. My version
scans for the files automatically, which also means it's limited in
scope when one would like to run test for multiple directories (although
this should be easily cures).

Additionally runtest.rb doesn't run the tests in given order but instead
relies on the order ObjectSpace provides. My version doesn't honor the
order either since there's no input for that, but instead runs the tests
in alphabetical order.

Nevertheless, these two details are such a minor features that most of
the time there's no problems. Although sometimes tests should be run in
certain order (the slower test is unneeded if the fast one crashes
already) and then one can name the methods including some numbers like
test_01_foo, test_02_bar and so on.

Anyway, it's nice to notice the essential tools are already there in
place.
