Bug Description

We had a test suiite in a package, and due to some other mago bug the tests were not found. However mago returned status 0, that it was 'ok' - and this meant 'make distcheck' was passing without running the tests.

We'd like mago to error when no tests are found, so that this case is avoided.

In certain case, mago tests are used in a make distcheck environment.

Mago should return other than 0 when:

* No tests are found
* At least on test case failed

This should be double checked with the checkbox integration before committing any change.

summary: - when tests are not found, mago should error
+ Mago always returns 0

The checkbox integration wraps mago in such a way that the status from running a test is only extracted from the generated xml file, and the return value is simply ignored. So, it should be safe to implement the proposed change.
