* Allow a build to finish "succesfully" as far as Nix is concerned

  even if some build phase failed if the variable `$succeedOnFailure'
  is set to 1.  If that happens, the file `$out/nix-support/failed' is
  created to mark the build result as bad.  This is useful for release
  management systems that might want to publish failed releases.
