Summary: compileall doesn't notice syntax errors

Initial Comment:
compileall.py returns an exit code to indicate the
success or failure of compilation.  This feature was
added in compileall.py revision 1.7 in response to
distutils message 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/1999-March/000201.html

This is not as useful as it looks because a prior
change to py_compile.py (revision 1.13) catches syntax
errors, hiding them completely from compileall.py, so
compileall.py can't report the failure to its caller.

I think this is easy enough to fix, but I don't know what
unintended side-effects the fix will have.
