Status in NUnit Test Framework: Fix Committed

Bug description:
Because NUnit is intended to be built under various CLR versions, we have continued to make use of old-style collections like ArrayList and Hashtable. This causes several problems:
* Silverlight incompatibility
* Loss of type safety
* Inefficiency due to boxing

These and other collections should be replaced by our own collections, which can be based on generic collections for .NET 2.0 builds and after or by local implementations in certain classes. 

We need to search for and correct all such usage before starting on the Silverlight implementation.
