Client Rails 3.x and Ruby 1.9.3 support

[t.pickett66]

Greetings list,

Just wanted to open up some dialog about improving rails 3.x support in the client. I've begun the process by partially moving the testing process to the use of a dummy rails app, because of the incompatibilities between 2.3 and the 3.x line it required a lot of hacking on the boot process but we now have all green tests using Ruby 1.8.7-p357 and Rails 2.3. Using Rails 3.x with any version of the interpreter has multiple failures but this isn't entirely unexpected. The mocking of controller calls that was done previously is still in place and this will probably be the next item I attack so we don't have to maintain these.

My work so far can be found in the rails-hydra branch in my company's fork and the pull request I've submitted so we can track comments there if that's the preference.

Tyler,

Thanks so much for these contributions! I haven't gotten a chance to review them yet, but I am excited, especially about you adding the automated integration tests against dummy rails apps. That has been a major obstacle to moving the the project forward, and removing that would be awesome!

Everyone,

I've completed porting the client specs to using a 'real' rails app, the work can be found on GitHub in pull request #57. All of the specs are green under rails 2.3 but there are still some failures under all 3.x versions. The failures are all in the same place and relate to the session storage mechanisms. I've also noticed that the LocalDirTicketStore specs aren't writing the to the filesystem but rather the DB because of the way they are constructed. I'm going to focus on fixing the issues with Rails 3.x first, while I'm doing that someone may want to verify that I'm not missing something regarding the LocalDirTicketStore specs.

All specs are passing with all versions of rails 2.3 - 3.2 with a single additional commit. That single commit is rather silly and shouldn't be necessary but it is.
