It certainly is technically possible, but this has been rejected by the dev
folks, for reasons like: what happens if the failure target fails?

A listener is the right place, currently, for such things.  Eventually it
will be possible to attach a listener from within the build file (and you
'almost' can already with <record>. but not quite like what you desire).

If you wanted to get real tricky, you could create a listener that upon
failure fired a failure target!  :)  But you'd have to deal with whatever
potentially ugly issues could come up from doing such a thing and I'm not
sure what kinds of things get destroyed before the listener gets notified of
a failure.
