The "java way" would be to have our code under
net/sourceforge/rails/{game, test, foo}

(See also: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/codeconventions-135099.html )

If we're going to add new sub-dirs, we may want to consider moving to
the "standard" Java naming conventions.

That said, I do prefer to have the tests separate from the regular
code base. I don't really care if we call it "test(s)" or "junit" or
"unit". I will say that if we call the unit test tree "test", we
should remove any other use of that word from the rest of the tree.

JMock is fine by me.
