Since you've already got it packaged, then I think we should do that.
The migration from Rspec 2 -> 3 is nontrivial so I won't be surprised
if we run into other gems that use Rspec 2.  Regarding the
/homeless-shelter thing, you should be able to make those tests pass
by creating some directory in the source tree and set HOME to it.

In short, yes, your patches are very welcome.  Thanks!
