Bug description:
The attribute Category (used for making tests as being in a particular category) should be inherited. This would allow setting up an abstract base class for a certain type of test, marking it as [Category("Whatever")], and having NUnit recognize that every other test that inherits from that class is also in category "Whatever".

As of 2.5.7.10213, CategoryAttribute is not inherited.
