[Mono-list] Windows: Propagating exit codes in .bat files?

Hey guys,

   We have an issue with Mono, we are shipping batch files for Windows
like this:

c:\>type mcs.bat
mono mcs.exe
c:\>

   The problem is that if `mcs.exe' returns an exitcode different than
zero, the error is not propagated to the caller, so this means that in
Makefiles, things keep going even if there is a failure.

   Anyone knows enough DOS to tell me how to fix that?

Miguel.
