NuGet and nUnit automation

Question

I have a VS project and in the project properties under the Debug tab I set: Start External Program: D:\SolutionName\packages\NUnit.2.5.10.11092\tools\nunit.exe Command Arguments: projectname.dll

This lets me start nUnit and run the nunits tests dll and when I start debugging the project.

Is there a better way? We use TFS and not everyone installs the solution to d: and the version number in the path where NuGet installs it changes periodically.

Was hoping to some how grab the text of the nunit.exe path from the path in the VS: Project : References section that was placed there by NuGet. This way I wouldn't have to change it for nUnit version changes and other TFS users wouldn't have to change it either.

Any ideas?
