nant exec task: i need the return code!

Hi, I couldn't find a nant user group here, so thought i'd try this.

I run an external program from nant (robocopy) and unfortunately, it
returns 1 on success. Nant interprets this as a failure. I want it to
continue when it gets a 1 back (and possibly certain other codes), but
fail otherwise. I know I could use failonerror=false but then it would
still continue even during a real error.

Is there a way to capture the return code into a variable when using
the <exec> nant task?

Aside from any other options - couldn't you write a batch file or small
executable which launches another executable and does the appropriate
error code changing?
