In Ruby's Test::Unit::TestCase, how do I override the initialize method?

Question

I\'m struggling with Test::Unit. When I think of unit tests, I think of one simple test per file. But in Ruby\'s framework, I must instead write:

class M

Well, I accomplished basically the same way in a really ugly and horrible fashion, but it was quicker. :) Once I realized that the tests are run alphabetically:

class MyTests < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_AASetup # I have a few tests that start with "A", but I doubt any will start with "Aardvark" or "Aargh!"
    #Run setup code
end

def MoreTests
end

def test_ZTeardown
    #Run teardown code
end

It aint pretty, but it works :)
