[Mono-list] 'make test' problems in System.

[Dan Lewis]

All the patch does is to make the build process copy System.dll from class/lib
into the System/Test directory. The compiler needs to reference this library
when building System_test.dll (which it seems it was doing correctly), and the
runtime needs subsequently to be able to find it when NUnitConsole.exe is run
in the Test directory.

This is similar to a classpath problem in Java - if that's any help. An
altogether more attractive alternative to copying the DLL into the Test
directory would be to set up an "application configuration" for
NUnitConsole.exe that tells it where the library is. This is something that
Nick and I began investigating the other day.

Dan.
