Ok, why do you want to stop it as fast as possible when a failure

I have a 45 minute test suite and I want to work on the first
failure as soon as
possible. I also have multiple desktops and am doing other things in
another
desktop, so I want to know as soon as the failure happens so that I
can start
working on it:
make test || echo -e "\a"
Would be nice if that would beep after the first failure instead of
after 45
minutes and the whole thing is done.
OK, it's not the same as what's been asked for but would it be useful
for prove to have a "don't start any new test programs after >= N
failures" option?
