You can write minitest in syntax very similar to rspec. So converting existing 
tests does not necessarily mean to rewrite everything from scratch. But it's 
probably a lot of work anyway.

But even if we start using minitest there is other decision to make. Should we 
use spec-like syntaxt or testunit-like syntax? Because of test helpers sharing 
I think choosing one style would be helpful.

Personally I'd prefer spec-like syntax since it's more readable for me (unless 
stack level of blocks is too deep :-)
