Rake task doesn't accept multiple profiles

[jasonkarns]

Cucumber can be executed with multiple profiles from the command line by specifying multiple --profile options. This feature is even nicely documented on the wiki:

Even multiple profiles can be specified together.

However, the Rake task presently only accepts a single profile. Thoughts on also allowing the Rake task's profile argument to accept an array?

Cucumber::Rake::Task.new 'capybara:webkit' do |t|
  t.profile = %w[ capybara webkit ]
end

Which would run:

cucumber  --profile capybara --profile webkit

[jasonkarns]

There's already a workaround for this: specifying both profiles using cucumber_opts, but I would love to see proper support for multiple profiles.

Cucumber::Rake::Task.new 'capybara:webkit' do |t|
  t.cucumber_opts = "-p capybara -p webkit"
end

Can you see if you can work out a way to test this? I don't know this code very well and I'm a nervous about making too many changes to it without tests.

[jasonkarns]

Sure. I just wanted to make sure the PR would be received well before I
spent any more time on it.
