If you tell Test::Unit to run something, and there are no tests to run
in what you told it to run, it will give you an error. If you add a test
to TC_Foo, it should start passing.

I'm curious to know what others think of this change/feature. Does it
make sense? Are there reasons to want a TestCase that has no test
methods? I added the error at someone's request, but I'm willing to take
it out again if there are compelling reasons to do so.

BTW, this is why one shouldn't wait 9+ months between releases... it
greatly reduces feedback (unless folks are using CVS), which is a very
bad thing :-(.
