OK. I figgured I could do something in Ruby, but was just wondering if
there were something built in to Watir. There's some parts of our app
that don't lend themselves to automated testing (waiting for a status
change for an undefined time, etc.) and other parts I just haven't
gotten arround to scripting.

I'll look at what Ruby's got.
