Sounds like Autotest's discovery process is going to need to be
revisited. rspec and rspec-rails each have their own subclasses of
Autotest, and the autotest executable decides what specific class to
load by combing the load path for "autotest/discover" - so rspec and
rspec-rails both need to have autotest directories to make that work.
Merb apps do the same.

For a temp solution this seems reasonable to me. Anybody else have a
better idea?
