Mild updates to gems and a few descriptive comments added.
Correct flash notice handling.
Recaptcha no longer requires require in require.rb
Absolute minimal changes to fixtures so that "fixtures :all" can be called in test_helper.rb without crapping out. The values are still meaningless and possibly full of referential issues.
Bring in the "test macros" at the test_helper.rb level, so they don't have to required explicitly, which was causing many functional tests to fail.
Apparently starting in Rails 3 the quoted_printable part is done automagically if you're using UTF-8. The attempted inclusion of the Quoting module was causing fundamental problems during rake test.
