I did not follow this from the beginning and am a little worried.  I
usually write my lib classes like this:

class Blah
...
end

if __FILE__ == $0
  require 'test/unit'

  class TestBlah < Test::Unit::TestCase
  ...
  end
end


If the __FILE__ == $0 part goes away, would the test run always?
Would it have to be kept in a separate file?

I hope not, since a great deal of speed in development for me is given
by modifying the class or the test and rerunning it immediately inside
emacs, with no load/save cycle.
