Test Inheritance for base classes in different assemblies: #23

This is now fixed and can be enabled when one passes in a runsettings similar to below:

<RunSettings>    
  <MSTest> 
    <EnableBaseClassTestMethodsFromOtherAssemblies>true</EnableBaseClassTestMethodsFromOtherAssemblies> 
  </MSTest> 
</RunSettings>

When can we expect Ordered tests: #25 support to be added in MS Test V2? It has been over a year now. Voting is also closed for this issue. Please update with the Expected time? Need it badly. Thanks.
