At the risk of stating what is obvious to some and may not be to all, 
minitest is now the default testing library supplied with 1.9, replacing 
the previously supplied Test::Unit library. I am informed that there one 
can easily obtain the same functionality with minitest - but I know 
essentially nothing about this, and there seems to be no documentation, 
outside of discussion in various books which take up Ruby 1.9. The  
library author has said that the code is easy enough to read that that 
is good documentation.

Hope this helps.

Tom
