Different backends can return with a different exit code. For my hack, I
moved the exit code checking to a file per backend.

I think there were some bugs in the pass / fail counting, either that or
I broke it when I worked through it. I wasn't sure if the exit code was
supposed to be counted as a separate failure to the output being
