rspec users - Jun 2007 - standard location for spec helpers

Is there a standard location for spec helpers (as in bits of code that help 
write specs)?

I''m mocking/stubing-out portions of ActiveSalesforce, a remote-database
abstraction layer so my specs won''t have to rely on a remote
connection, but I''m
not sure where I should be putting this helper lib. I was thinking of just 
sticking it in spec/ but I was curious if there''s a standard place for
it.

Thanks!

I created a spec/lib dir and throw my spec helper files in there.
Then I require them in spec_helper.rb

FYI - From some other threads on this list, there seems to be an
emerging convention that spec/lib is where specs for stuff in the lib
directory go and shared stuff (helpers, shared behaviours, etc) go in
spec/shared.
