Otherwise, if we call it as a Ruby program, it runs the Sinatra server as we would expect:

$ ruby sinatra-tests-baked-in.rb
== Sinatra/0.9.1.1 has taken the stage on 4567 for development with backup from Thin
>> Thin web server (v1.0.0 codename That's What She Said)
>> Maximum connections set to 1024
>> Listening on 0.0.0.0:4567, CTRL+C to stop

And there you have it: a true single-file application, specs and all.
