Hi all,

Is there a useable GUI for running NUnit 2.4.7 tests under Linux?
- gnunit2 is for 2.2.6 or so, and it's nontrivial to get it to compile
against the test runner for 2.4.7. It took me a couple hours, but...
- the test runner in 2.4.7 seems to be looking for a copy of
NUnit.Framework.TestFixtureAttribute in the assembly containing tests.
This shouldn't usually happen, what with dynamic linking. Maybe MS
.NET does static linking in this case?
- The NUnit test runner binaries that are distributed try to use an
encoding Windows-1252, which Mono doesn't support.

I've hacked together a reasonably poor GUI and command line test
runner that uses hard-coded strings rather than hard-coded types to
look for tests and test fixtures and so forth, so it should be more
future proof. However, it's ugly and has pretty much no features
besides running tests. Any takers?
