Applying Carlos' patch and the subsequent changes I made should have
stabilised this. The toolchains are still a bit useless, but it works
just fine with everything in the path. I have my head around the
toolchain problem now (I think a fix in Maven itself will help), and
hopefully will get some cycles in the next couple of weeks to put that
to bed too.

No objections there. I was also thinking of queueing up another
release now that NUnit has been added back would be a good idea -
perhaps just after straightening out the toolchain issue.
