2.2 has been on SVN HEAD for quite some time, but Mono 1.0 shipped with
2.1.93 so that version still "lives" in the MONO-1-0 branch.

2.2.1 isn't on SVN - in part because it doesn't compile properly on Mono,
partly because of a new (and temporary) dependency on winforms - and
partly because I waited for a new package to fix this ;-)

I think we all agree on that. From my January 14 email...

That's a very good idea. Anybody interested in implementing this should
contact the NUnit developers and work with them to include this (or make
this a separate tool) so we can still benefits from their future versions
(and not lock ourselves with a Mono specific tool).

However this shouldn't be a "big" problem to add new tags to our tests as
the tool to process them could (or should) live separately from NUnit. 
That would be similar to the MonoTODO attributes we have in our class 
library to generate the class status web pages.
