The reason we have this problem is that what we really need is a unified
Watir-API test suite that could be run against any implementation.

I was trying to convert our existing unit tests into such a test suite, but
ran out of time to complete this work and thus it is in an interim state.

One way to fix the problem would be to roll back this work. If this is your
plan, then i think it is a bad idea.

Another way to fix the problem would be to complete this work and migrate
all of the "unit tests" out of the individual gems. If this is your plan,
then it is a good idea, but it also will probably result in not having the
"unit tests" inside the individual gems.

So I guess the question is, what is your plan?
