We could say that x.run passes iff testing.capture-output is skipped because a dependency failed or has non-zero exit status. But... this will make a mess of the total pass/fail counts and will fail badly with -q, not to mention that it will cause the test to pass if a library dependency fails to build.
I realise this may not be possible, but a better rule would be a "not" rule: passes only if it's dependency failed. But like you say, the total pass/fail count would presumably be messed up? John.
