[MonoDevelop] nunit add-in. does it support nunit extensions/addin.

NUnit requires add-ins to be in a specific location relative to it's own
assemblies, so this would probably be simple enough to deal with
if you're willing to use such a directory. Otherwise, it would be a
simple enough patch to have it look for addins relative to the
location of the monodevelop nunit addin.

That said, I'm sure there are lots of other things that need to be
done and one of the goals of NUnit 3.0 - still without a projected
release date - is to permit easier incorporation of NUnit and its
addins into other programs. This is happening in two ways:

1. Some extensions won't need to be addins at all. There's a
simpler model using inheritance for many framework-only
extensions.

2. Where a true addin is needed, we plan to use Mono.Addins.

Given the above, you may want to do without nunit addins for
now, waiting for 3.0.
