The NUnit task fails on Linux.

[StephenMcConnel]

The NUnit task fails with Mono's xbuild on Linux due to using / to indicate command line options. A simple patch would be something like the following:

@StephenMcConnel is this bug still open?

[StephenMcConnel]

Given that I don't have write access to the git repository, and that the current readonly sources have not changed, I would say the bug is still open. We solved it by compiling a modified version of the sources locally for our internal work, but would prefer to be able to use unmodified sources.

[Shamar]

So do I. @pwelter34 please take a look at this issue.

+1. This is a bit annoying, although it can be worked around.

Version 1.4.0.72 allows NUnit to run on Linux, but I am still having an issue with the Targets. Based on this post, I was able to get it working. http://ngeor.net/2013/11/msbuild-community-tasks-nunit-and-mono/ Is it possible to get this small change to the Targets property sets included?
