    Four Generations of spec_helper.rb

This Gist contains four successive versions of the RSpec spec/spec_helper file, as used by a recent project.

initial-spec_helper.rb takes the file as output by rails g rspec:install and adds a few TODO comments;
spec_helper-with-capybara.rb adds Capybara settings;
spec_helper-with-database_cleaner.rb adds database_cleaner settings; and finally
spec_helper-with-simplecov.rb adds simplecov settings.
