Alter the output of the default log formatter to be pretty in SpecMate output if HTML_LOGGING is set or TM_FILENAME is set to something containing _spec.rb.

# File lib/loggability/spechelpers.rb, line 32
def setup_logging( level=:fatal )

        # Only do this when executing from a spec in TextMate
        if ENV['HTML_LOGGING'] || (ENV['TM_FILENAME'] && ENV['TM_FILENAME'] =~ %r_spec\.rb/)
                logarray = []
                Thread.current['logger-output'] = logarray
                Loggability.output_to( logarray )
                Loggability.format_as( :html )
                Loggability.level = :debug
