[rspec-users] using RSpec''s trunk in non-rails projects w/ Autotest

Hey Nick,

Good to hear from you (as the original developer of the autotest
compatibility issue).

I was working on the same issue David was (to fix autotest to work
for RSpec''s trunk), only to find that David had modified it.

I have refactored the autotest plugin to use vendor/plugin/rspec/bin
if that exists, and have spec''ed out most of the Autotest.  This
means that a non-rails project could use vendor/plugins w/ rspec
checked out, and autotest should work out of the box.

Right now spec coverage is at 99.7%, so I''m working on finishing up
the specs for RSpec''s autotest.  (David, I assume this would be
welcome?)

Scott
