Can Ant set a property (or write to a file) based on the result
(success or failure) of a task?

If so, one could compile groups of classes with failonwhateverthatwas
set to false (to get as much compiled as possible (roughly)), and then 
compile everything with the result status noted somewhere to report
whether the build was good.
