Behaviour Driven Development for Ruby on Rails.

Changes:

### Version 1.2.0

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Due to changes in Rails-2.3, there are some changes
in rspec-rails-1.2.0 that might break some specs in your existing apps. Be
sure to see http://wiki.github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/rails and
http://wiki.github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/upgrades for information about
upgrading.

IMPORTANT: This release includes the following
backwards-compatibility-breaking changes.

* rspec-rails supports rails 2.0.5, 2.1.2 and 2.2.2, and 2.3.1

* We are no longer supporting 1.x versions of rails.

* expect_render and stub_render have been removed.

* Both of these methods were deprecated in rspec-rails-1.1.5,
released in Sept, 2008.

* { route_for(args).should == "/path" } now delegates to
assert_generates (in rails)

* see Upgrade.markdown for more information

* deprecations

* controller.use_rails_error_handling! is deprecated
* use rescue_action_in_public! (from rails) instead

* enhancements

* Adding status codes to redirect_to matcher (Damian Janowski). Closes #570.
* Initialize current URL before executing any examples in a
ViewExampleGroup (Wilson Bilkovich). Closes #654.
* Support query strings in params_from (Wilson Bilkovich). Closes #652.
* delegate route_for to assert_recognizes (less brittle)
* it { should be_valid } (Kakutani). Closes #665.
* controller is implicit subject in controller specs (Joe Ferris). #686.
* template is implicit subject in view specs (Joe Ferris). #686.
* redirect_to and render_template matchers can accept controller or
response (Joe Ferris). Closes #686.
* generated specs use declarative docstrings
* rspec_scaffold generator generates layout and stylesheet (per Rails-2.3)
* add bypass_rescue for controller specs
* infer template path from the first arg passed to describe in view specs
* separate routing specs (in spec/routing)

* bug fixes

* you no longer *have* to load ActionMailer to get specs to run. Closes #650.
* query_params are now parsed by Rack::Utils.parse_query in
redirect_to matcher. Closes #684.
* cleaned up spec_server (there was a bunch of pre-rails 2.0
material). Closes #685.
* rspec's rake tasks are not loaded when running "rake gems" or any
of its subtasks
* only warn when rspec is not installed when trying to invoke an
rspec rake task
* support 2 arg version of ActionController::Base#render (reported
by Nathan Wilmes)
* rake spec:server:start doesn't choke if there is no tmp directory
* force cache_classes = false when running with spec_server. Closes #287.
* keep spec_server working against edge rails (Jonathan Tron). Closes #685.
* create lib/tasks if not present when running script/generate
rspec. Closes #687.
* fixed regression (and added spec so it won't regress again) where
render => :inline didn't render unless integrate_views was set
* fixed nil.with_output_buffer bug in helper specs. Closes #719.
