Mono Support for Windows

[shiftkey]

Can we confirm that there are no issues with executing build and test steps under Mono?

Can we document how someone running Mono/MonoDevelop/SharpDevelop can build their own version of pretzel locally?

Might be irrelevant... but:

xbuild fails on mono 2.10.9 (stable) on osx because it does not have nuget.

nuget doesn't work on 2.10.9 as it requires System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoConfig.AllowOnlyFipsAlgorithms

When I get chance I will try with 2.11/3.0 but that is currently beta.

The project sln file fails to load in MonoDevelop 3.0.4.7, but this is fixed in this patch - I will confirm Pretzel can be built using this patch.
