[Mono-dev] Running under the Mono 2.0 Profile

[Charlie Poole]

Hello Mirco, 

Thanks for your suggestions...

I've thought of doing that but it creates problems. Most notably,
the last config created would be used the next time somebody
ran nunit from the command line. That could be surprising -
or maybe it's a feature. :-)

Yes, that's correct. I've considered having two exe's. In fact,
I have two entire installs for NUnit 2.2. I was trying to
move to a simpler deployment. Only having the exe's is
an option, but it seems like a kluge.

No - that's a future thing, but not what I'm doing here.

At the meeting, we agreed on a command line switch for mono.exe,
which is probably the simplest for me to use and seems like the
most portable solution. Do I need to do anything to get this 
moving? If it's not available when I release, I'll probably
go with the dual exe approach.
