N.B. Since making the original post, I’ve learned that the autospec program solves basically the same problem.

@Jeff: my autotest colors show up anyway, but perhaps some configurations do require the additional AUTOTEST environment variable you mention. Thanks for the note.

It looks like you should also add AUTOTEST=true (to get the color back in your autotest). Some folks have also been hacking to just do this in their ENV["AUTOTEST"] and ENV["RSPEC"]
