Skribilo creates an empty output file even when it errors out. For
example, if I invoke skribilo as follows with foo.skb being
non-existent, skribilo will error out but still create a foo.html.
Toggle snippet (38 lines)
$ ls foo.html
ls: cannot access 'foo.html': No such file or directory
$ ls foo.skb
ls: cannot access 'foo.skb': No such file or directory
$ skribilo -t html -o foo.html foo.skb

Among other things, this upsets the use of skribilo in Makefiles. When a
skribilo invocation in a Makefile recipe fails, an output file is still
created, and when make is run again, the skribilo invocation is not
re-run.
