Different platform DLLs go in a named folders inside of the NuGet package.
 Everything is delivered together and Visual Studio links to the correct
DLL.  If it was possible to build the NuGet package as part of the CI
process, that would be the best.  Currently the NuGet creation lives
elsewhere and is manually populated with the release binaries.

NUnit was able to test it without the configuration part.  I can remove
that and remove all the MSTest changes.  The test runner then works as a
desktop process (on Windows 8/Server 2012).

Anyone can pull it from Bitbucket
<https://bitbucket.org/nathanbrown/rabbitmq-dotnet-client>right now.  I can
continue to work there.

Thanks,
