Abort task or generalization of fail task

A new abort task, or an enhancement to the fail task, that would allow you to
quit in the middle of a project but still return successfully would be very nice
and doesnt seem too hard.

I have a fetch target that, if nothing has changed since the last build does a
fail with a "build not needed" message.  The master build file has to
"catch/trap" this error using a <subant> task.  But the output is messy and it
would be a lot cleaner if there were just an abort task.
