Hi Tim,

Good points.  Check out ProjectDirectoryStructure on the wiki for some
tips I gathered when I asked a similar-ish question.  Please suggest
anything I can add to the page.

Briefly, though, I found no killer way to do what you're after with
running test cases, so I set my own standard procedure for running
tests and stuck to it.  I can't retrieve the code now, but basically I
had a "test/master.rb" that ran every test.  If you gave it CL
arguments, it ran only these files.  That was good enough for me.
Restriction: my test directory was flat.

Cheers,
Gavin
