FYI, RubyUnit includes ToPublic module. ToPublic#to_public method
creates a subclass of your class which all methods are public 
methods.
For example,

  class MyClass
    def my_private_method
      ...
    end
    private :my_private_method
  end

  class TestMyClass < RUNIT::TestCase
    include ToPublic
    def setup
      @aMyClass = to_public(MyClass).new
    end
    def test_my_private_method
      # you can access private_method
      assert(@aMyClass.my_private_method)
    end
  end

  Thank you,
