of desc.

Conference to help me work out these issues.

old behavior is still available by setting the external flag to
true.
Rakefiles are now loaded with the expanded path to prevent accidental
polution from the Ruby load path.
The namespace command now returns a NameSpace object that can be
used to lookup tasks defined in that namespace. This allows for better
anonymous namespace behavior.
Task objects my now be used in prerequisite
lists directly.
Fixed file creation bug in the unit tests (caused infinite loop on
windows).
Fixed bug where session based functional tests were run under windows.
Fixed bug in directory tasks so that updating a directory will not
retrigger file tasks depending on the directory (see FileCreationTask and EarlyTime).

Added ruby_opts to the test task to allow arbitrary ruby options to be
passed to the test script. (Greg Fast)
