I've added a patch to the tracker that adds a test task and a build
task to the rake file.

  http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=21172&group_id=494&atid=1973

If you apply that patch, you can just execute 'rake build' to build
the extension, and 'rake test' to run the tests.
Also, 'rake extensions:clean' will clean up the extensions directory.
