When using the py_compile module from the command line, and a
SyntaxError is encountered, python still exits with a 0 return code. 
This usually indicates that the process completely successfully.

Could py_compile.main() be modified to return a non-zero return code if
an exception was raised?

This patch was generated against the trunk but 
py_compile.py is unchanged from the version in
the release 2.5-maint branch.
