[Mono-list] NUnit support for generics?

[Kamil Skalski]

I had the same problem and created a patch some time ago:
http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-devel-list/2005-September/014598.html

Unfortunately there is some design issue I was not able to solve - we
would need to mark nunit dll with different version for 1.0 and 2.0
profiles in order to put it into GAC. Otherwise during installation
they are put into the same place and one version overwrites the other
(note that this is just a design issue, the nunit-console still works
with mixed version assemblies).

You can make nunit-console usable on 2.0 using one of the steps:
- delete nunit-console.exe.config files, compile your test dlls by
referencing exact path of 1.0 installed dlls
or
- apply my patch and watch it working
or
- just edit config file to use 2.0 first and reference exact patch of dlls 

Anyone have idea how to make the issue solved in an elegant way and
ideally make the solution acceptable by nunit.org people?
