rspec users - Apr 2009 - [RSPEC] [CUCUMBER] have autotest running *only* the features

I''ll reply to my own question as I have found an "hacked"
solution.

In Autotest::Rspec (rspec/lib/autotest/rspec-rb)
I redefined make_test_cmd like this:
def make_test_cmd(files_to_test)
    # FIXME JM HACK!
    if ENV[''AUTOFEATURE''] =~ /true/i
      return "#{ruby} -S #{spec_command} #{add_options_if_present}
spec/truth_spec.rb"
    else
      return "#{ruby} -S #{spec_command} #{add_options_if_present}
#{files_to_test.keys.flatten.join('' '')}"
    end
  end

truth_spec is a dummy spec :
describe "Truth" do
  it "should be true" do
    true.should be_true
  end
end

Doing this, autotest with AUTOFEATURE= true first runs the "specs" but
only
finds truth_spec which takes about 1s to run and then run the features.
