[MonoDevelop] Mono 2.8 .Net 4.0 and Nunit

[Charlie Poole]

Hi Matt,

NUnit 2.5.7 contains code to detect the presence of 4.0 support in Mono.
Unfortunately, it has only been tested under Windows and this is a very
OS-specific bit of code. Because I haven't yet found bandwidth to build
Mono from source, my own Linux system is stuck at Mono 2.6. :-(

The workaround is to run NUnit itself under 4.0, so that none of this
detection code is ever used. That's the essence of Dale's recommendation.

A longer term solution would be for some folks in this community to
get involved with NUnit and help make it work right for this situation. ;-)

Charlie
