I'll try to fix that in one of setup.rb's hooks, I'm always bumping into it :)

What about something like this:

$ cat runner.rb 
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

program = ARGV.shift

unless program
  puts <<E
ruby runner.rb <progname> [arguments]
E
  exit
end

found = false
t0    = Time.new

at_exit do
  tms = Process.times
  $stderr.puts <<EOF

real    #{Time.new - t0}
user    #{tms.cutime}
sys     #{tms.cstime}
EOF
end

system("ruby", "-S", program, *ARGV)

__END__


I don't know if cutime and cstime are meaningful on win32, though.

Seems convenient, I'll implement it.
