       - user's rspecs
    scripts
       - common scripts used for automating tests, etc.
    experiments
      - gush.prefs
      - directory for each experiment (assume that gush is run from here)
         - rspecs
            - may symlink back to higher level rpecs
         - scripts
            - may symlink back to higher level scripts
