Description

This fixes the ruby libraries environment. This introduces Bundler for managing the development environment, as well as in handling the Gem release process. Echoe is no longer present.

The end result is that the development environment is easier to setup and easier to reproduce. Thus, easier to contribute to.

This structures the spec folder to better follow conventions RSpec.

The RSpec, as used in the ruby library, was using a mix of RSpec 1 and RSpec 2. This brings everything into the land of RSpec 2. Some additional cleanup could definitely be done, but this gets us out of the deprecation warnings and other weird behavior-ings.

To run this in CI, however that is done, you'll effectively want the shell script (or whatever) to look like this:

which bundle || gem install bundler
bundle install
bundle exec rake spec
