This has been my biggest frustration. It's very much like the Windows "DLL 
Hell" phenomenon. I'm really going to have to dig in to why a new version of 
RSpec (fer cryin out loud) gets in the way of a db migration!! I just get the 
feeling that if I tweak one little thing, the whole house is going to come 
down, something I thought testing was supposed to help us get away from.

Anyway, enough with the venting. I'm in the process of creating some extensions 
(one of the reasons for doing this was to figure out how to get started at that 
-- I've done a little of it but it's more "cargo cult" stuff than real 
development and I wanted to take apart a working extension to see how it 
ticks). The real question is how to go about setting up a development 
environment that I can use for this.

Right now my impression is that edge is better than 0.8.1, so I'm probably 
going to start moving in that direction, hoping to land on 0.9 when it's ready. 
But I keep running into dependencies on really old testing gems.

ah, well. off to bed.

Have Fun,
Arlen
