[Mono-dev] SPAM-LOW: Re: NUnit migration and test failure status

[Charlie Poole]

As you may remember from Madrid, I'm planning a GTK 
version of NUnit as part of the new NUnit 3.0 Platform. 
I thought I'd call it nunit-gtk and depending on 
licensing I might be able to use pieces of gnunit,
so the work won't be lost in any case.
