Behaviour Driven Development for Ruby on Rails.

Changes:

### Version 1.2.9 / 2009-10-05

* enhancements
* added route_to and be_routable matchers (Randy Harmon). Closes #843.
* Provide better failure message for render_template when redirected (Josh
Nichols). Closes #885.
* generated specs require 'spec_helper'

* bug fixes
* pass the correct args to super in controller#render depending on the rails
version (Lucas Carlson). Closes #865.
* use Rack::Utils.parse_query to convert query strings to hashes. Closes #872.
* errors correctly bubble up when a controller spec in isolation mode
requests a non-existent action/template
* no error if either action or template exist
* error if neither exist
* Closes #888.

* removals
* spec_server has been removed in favor of spork.
* You can still use the --drb flag, but you've got to install the spork
gem.
* Windows users who cannot use the spork gem can install the spec_server
from http://github.com/dchelimsky/spec_server

rspec-rails version 1.2.9 has been released!
* removals
* spec_server has been removed in favor of spork.

spork
gem.

Any suggestion for why I'd get the following exception when trying to
run spec_server on windows with rspec 1.3.1? This is my first time
trying to get this working so I can't say that it worked with 1.2.9.

Same problem when using version rspec-rails 1.2.9 and rspec 1.2.9. I
uninstalled both gems, reinstalled rspec-rails letting it pull in the
version of rspec it depends on. I re-ran 'ruby script/generate rspec'
and let it replace all the files. I copied spec_server from
http://github.com/dchelimsky/spec_server.

spec spec runs all the specs successfully.
autospec without the --drb option runs all specs successfully
autospec with -drb option fails with "undefined method
`use_transactional_fixtures='" exception.
