make -k does not exit with appropriate error code if errors are encountered

Hi!

BSD make does not exit with appropriate error code (2) if it is run with "-k" and errors are encountered.

Please review this patch that fixes this bug:

http://people.freebsd.org/~fjoe/make.diff

Sample BSDmakefile is:

--- cut here ---
all: a b

a:
exit 1

b:
touch ${.TARGET}
--- cut here ---

I'd like to commit the to HEAD soon.

/fjoe
