So I think that mono should not install / package any nunit binaries
(it should use it only during a build and testing code in the source
tree). We would also need binaries of NUnit prepared for installation
on mono in this case. Probably this scenario won't be accepted by mono
developers (I suspect they use nunit also after installation, for
example for testing packages not inside mono tree, but depending on
mono core binaries).

But we could still have the installation of nunit outside mono, say in
/usr/lib/nunit/nunit-XXX
The question is how much convenience tool we want there (for example a
nunit-console script is currently installed by mono's nunit into
/usr/bin/ and  mono-nunit.pc for executing mcs -pkg:mono-nunit.pc)

So, what remains to be done is to test if not modified nunit from
windows works fine on mono (if not fix it) and then prepare packages
for linux, etc.
