Subject: theres got to be a better way to test this...

ok, so i'm writing some tests to check if requiring some files will work
(right now it's all sorts of broken, but thats besides the point...)
 anyway, my (rather simple code) is this (so far):

# some tests to see if the shogun libraries are loading properly

require 'test/unit'

class TestLibs < Test::Unit::TestCase

  def setup
    @libs = %w{ narray Classifier Distance Evaluation Kernel Preprocessor
Structure Clustering Distribution Library Regression }
  end

  def test_load
    @libs.each do |lib|
      assert load_lib( lib ), "ERROR!!!!! #{lib} didn't load!!"
    end
  end

  def load_lib lib
    begin
      return require lib
    rescue LoadError
      return false
    end
  end

end

# end testing good-ness!!

so, this works-ish.  NArray loads, and throws no error, but when Classifier
tries to load, the assert fires & the whole method stops, so my output is:

# moar kode stufz

$ ./test_libs.rb

Loaded suite ./test_libs
Started
F
Finished in 0.465465 seconds.

  1) Failure:
test_load(TestLibs) [./test_libs.rb:15]:
ERROR!!!!! Classifier didn't load!!

1 tests, 2 assertions, 1 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips

# no moar kode stufz

i was wondering if there was a more elegant way to do this other than
writing a bunch of ... IDEA!!!  ffs!!  idea is epic fail!  ['twas to us
metaprogramming to make the methods, but apparently it wont automagically
run anything but test_* stuff ;( ]  ok, so yeah, anyone have any ideas??
 thanks in advance!
