[Mono-dev] Running under the Mono 2.0 Profile

[Charlie Poole]

Hi Gert,

In the 2.4 Beta, I've only been shipping one build and adding
menu items to run it under various versions of the CLR.

Of course that means NUnit can't make use of 2.0 features,
but creating the distributions is a lot simpler.

However, for 3.0, I want to use 2.0 features, so the whole
question will raise its head again. :-)
