Most of the output is generated by software other than rake, so is 
outside the control of rake itself.

The above three lines (probably only one line prior to pasting) can be 
silenced by setting verbose to false in the test task.  E.g.

  Rake:TestTask.new("whatever") do |t|
    t.verbose = false     # ADD THIS LINE
    ... # whatever else you have
  end

These lines looke like they are being created by whatever it is that you 
are testing. Maybe some setup code somewhere.

The above lines are generated by the test suite software itself.  There 
are several options in Test::Unit to control this.  And you can always 
write your own runner to display whatever you wish.

Hope that helped.
