I think we should respect the name of the artifact as shipped by NUnit
(and installed into the GAC by the NUnit installer).  Otherwise when
NMaven tries to import a project and searches the repository based on
the reference in the project file, it isn't going to find a match.

In Java most things are lowercase-with-dashes, but a few artifacts
like UMLGraph aren't.

Good point.

Any other opinions on this? Either way, nunit is going to be an anomaly.
