Bug Description
We've got tests that load DLLs dynamically, and the shadow copy mechanism within NUnit fails to copy these DLLs to the temporary directory where the test are run from.
The simple work around we've been using in NUnit (as well as Reshaprer's NUinit runner) is to disable shadow copy in the options.
The NUnit Test Adapter for Visual Studio doesn't allow us to disable Shadow Copy and therefore prevents our use of NUnit within Visual Studio 2012.
Could you add the ability to disable Shadow Copy to the adapter?

Currently, we don't support setting any run options in the adapter, so
that would be a prerequisite to dealing with this bug. There are
several other requests that require the same thing.
However, for this specific request, there is an additional issue.
Currently, we plan to drop support for disabling shadow copy entirely
in NUnit 3.0. Folks on the nunit-discuss mail list have been asked for
use cases that would require us to keep it and nothing credible has
come up so far. So... if you have a use case that requires this
feature, please explain it!
By a use case, what I mean is why do you need to disable shadow copy?
What doesn't work when you don't disable it?
