NUnit: XSLT to transform NUnit output to MSBuild errors and warnings format

Question

I want my NUnit output transformed into msbuild error format so I can report on these in the Visual Studio error list. I know TestDriven.Net does the same.

MSBuild error format samples:

Main.cs(17,20): warning CS0168: The variable 'foo' is declared but never used C:\dir1\foo.resx(2) : error BC30188: Declaration expected. cl : Command line warning D4024 : unrecognized source file type 'foo.cs', object file assumed error CS0006: Metadata file 'System.dll' could not be found.

Post by MSBuild team blog on this format:

Not an answer, but providing more data. I am attempting to do the same thing. There is a free product out on the web called NUnit for VS. http://nunitforvs.codeplex.com/

It allows you to run NUnit code as MSTest tests in Visual Studio. I have looked at using .netSpec Exporter to convert the .trx file to html, but of course the output is NUnit and not MSTest Error format.

Here is a copy of the .trx file.

Just wondering if some has written a xsl file for this error format?
