It's important that setup.rb works and can do these things (i.e. build, test, install, etc.) b/c that's is how people NOT using RubyGems perform an installation. And since setup.rb already has to do these things, it is not DRY to have separate code in the Rakefile to do the exact same thing. This is why the original Rakefile loaded setup.rb, which I had modified to support Rake tasks. So, if there is a problem with using setup.rb we need to fix it, not just work around it with a new rake task. However, I would like to do away with the setup.rb file and replace is with a set of scripts in the directory "script/", eg. script/make, script/test, script/install, etc. which (IMHO) is much more intuitive way to provide these.
