For compatibility someone could implement that environment setting for
Mono, but in the meantime you could just generate that app config file
when you push the "Run under Mono 2.0 Profile" button on the fly, or is
that too absurd? :-P

Actually, it's not the test-case that decides if it wants 2.0 profile or
not, it's the application that loads the test-case, nunit in this case.
So all you need is 2 nunit exe files, one that is linked against 1.0 and
one against 2.0, or use the app config trick and use 1.0 exe files
instead.

Or is the problem that you can't start a new nunit process for running
the test-case? Then this solution would not work.
