[Wien] force exit upon compile error in siteconfig

[Peter Blaha]

> A scripting question.

Each Unix command returns a "status" variable (from an "exit x" statement.

echo $status is zero if the command exits without error, but non-zero else.

It is quite trivial to check this, as done in eg. run_lapw:

if ($status) exit 1


However, for siteconfig you would have to handle the "dirlist" properly

if ($sel == a) set dirlist = SRC_*

This includes also directories where there is nothing to compile
(e.g SRC_w2web). Of course when  "make" is executed there, it gives an
"error" and global compilation would stop.
So either create a "good" dirlist, or put a "dummy" Makefile into those
subdirectories to avoid an "error".
