[MonoDevelop] Nunit configure patch

[Christian Hergert]

Attached is a patch to get things started on the autofoo. Everything
seems to work, except the script in AC_ARG_ENABLE doesnt seem to get
run unless --enable-nunit={yes|no} is appened to configure. I imagine
this is because of the defaults. Any other auto masters out there want
to chime in?
