Rspec 1.1.4 gem and plugin with Autotest

I love Rspec and Rspec-rails. Trying to get much better at it. Also love Autotest. Ryan Zenspider Davis is a prolific genius.

Had issues today with a new project running 1.1.4 with autotest. It was easily fixable though.

Here was the error:

############################################################################
Your RSpec on Rails plugin is incompatible with your installed RSpec.

Here was the fix:

"go into rspec-rails/lib/spec/rails/version.rb and comment the code that's complaining about the version mismatch. The risk is fairly low at this point that you're going to have any trouble."

To get it working with Aututest, had to slightly modify script/spec to require 'rubygems':

require 'rubygems'

If you encounter that issue, hope this helps you fix it!
