Description

I often find myself running Walrus over a large body of templates after making a change (eg. over the Hextralapolate docs), and then running git diff over the output to make sure that it really works the same as it did before.

This shows I don't really trust my specs.

So, the idea is to actually clone the Hextrapolate docs and run Walrus over it as part of the acceptance tests. Would store the expected HTML and compare. Unfortunately this adds a dependency on buildtools as well, but that seems a necessary evil.

This would be a very useful tool especially now that I am trying to get Walrus to work on 1.9 as well. And eventually when I switch to 1.9 as my base Ruby version, I'll want to have a very solid spec suite to ensure that 1.8.7 support isn't broken.

    Done, and happily, the new acceptance specs all pass under Ruby 1.9. Now there are a few remaining failures in the rest of the spec suite (13 of them), but I believe I know the (easy) fix for most of them, which will leave only a couple of edge cases.
