Ah, yes.  Whoops.  Forgot.  Thanks.

Whoa there.  No need to get crazy.  A simple shell/batch script that
lives in Ruby's bin directory will do. :)

I've posted the .bat file on the codeforpeople project page.  Here it
is for those curious:

# turn.bat - put this in c:\ruby\bin
@echo off
"%~p0ruby" -x "%~f0" %1
goto endofruby
#!/bin/ruby
require "rubygems"
require "turn"
require ARGV[0] # The test file
:endofruby

The only quirk is that your test output will start with "Loaded suite
C:/ruby/bin/turn.bat" instead of the actual name of the test file.
Nothing serious.
