[mesa-users] de-testify test suite

[Bill Wolf]

To be clear, you don’t need to know ruby to use the mesa command line interface. Once installed, it is invoked entirely from the terminal with the only four commands [currently] available being  

mesa help  
mesa new
mesa point
mesa test

It just happens to be written in Ruby, so it requires it to be installed (which it probably is by default), as well as the two libraries I mentioned. This is much the same as how you don’t need to know what sed was written in to use it. The only “ruby” you might encounter is in figuring out where to install MesaScript, and even that is limited to parroting what the MesaScript installation instructions tell you to do.  

That being said, I haven’t had anyone test this tool yet, so other problems are certain to sprout up :). If and when you can get it working, it’s a hell of a lot easier to remember how to use “mesa test” than a pile of sed witchcraft, which is why I wrote it.
