Oh -- I forgot to mention.  I haven't done this yet, but part of my
plan is also to build a switch into my Cucumber env.rb file so that I
can flip between using my dummy server and the real remote Web service
for feature runs.  Hitting their API constantly with tests during my
development cycle is an unfriendly act, but if I never run my
integration tests against it at all, I'm not proving what actually
matters.
