rspec users - Dec 2008 - Where to put Cucumber Utilities?

Hi,

I use Watir\Firewatir with Cucumber. I previously used a framework
that object modelled the A-U-T; so each HTML page would be a class and
each object a method: this improved readability.

We came to the conclusion that this was over-engineering, slow and
boring; so I annihilated the object model.

However, there are utilities I still need for all sites e.g.

  class DownloadedInternetFiles
    def delete
      require ''fileutils''
      cache =  "C:\\Documents and
Settings\\#{ENV[''USERNAME'']}\\Local
Settings\\Temporary Internet Files"
      cookies = "C:\\Documents and
Settings\\#{ENV[''USERNAME'']}\\Cookies"
      FileUtils.rm_rf  cache
      FileUtils.rm_rf  cookies
    end
  end

Not sure where to put things like this. There are Helpers, but this
seems a little procedural to me.

Any thoughts?

You can put them in any directory that holds Ruby files that Cucumber loads.
For example features/support
