I think I'm going to stick with test-unit from gems. Couldn't really
follow the ri docs for minitest, although there are a few snippets on
the net.

gem19jx list test-unit --remote

*** REMOTE GEMS ***

test-unit (2.0.2)
test-unit-ext (0.5.0)
test-unit-full (0.0.1)
test-unit-mock (0.30)
test-unit-runner-fox (0.0.1)
test-unit-runner-gtk2 (0.0.1)
