Gilded Rose Kata

Purpose:

This kata fictionalizes the experience of working with someone else's code. You'll probably groan when you first see the code provided to you. The amount of code isn't overwhelming, its the prefect balance to evoke the feeling, "I can't wait to re-write this cruft." It's suggested that you use Test Driven Development with this kata. Once done, read the **spoiler** section below to see if you had a similar experience or not.
