I think it would be a good idea if every submission had it's own
RubyUnit test suite associated with it. That way, you could test both
the package _and_ its compatibility with your particular environment.

Of course some packages are harder to test this way than others, but
such a testsuite would have detected things such as the language
change that stopped the date2.rb library module from working.

At some point in the not-too-distant future I'll be releasing my
first stab at unit tests for the Ruby 1.6 built-in classes and
modules.
