When I create a gem, in the gem spec I can provide a list of test files. What unit test framework should those tests be written to?

Is there a way to run rspec tests when a gem is installed (and fail gracefully if rspec is not in the environment into which the gem is being installed).

    RubyGems is dropping the --test option in the next major release as there are now too many test frameworks for RubyGems to support.

    We're hoping the community will be able to come up with a better solution.

    test/unit has been the only supported option.
