The main problem I see with that solution is that my code blocks print
raw Org code/text, e.g. tables of results or a paragraph of text that
depends on the computations done in the code blocks. I haven't tried,
but passing and parsing those multiline RESULT blocks into a final
'conclusion' block is probably not very easy.

I ended up going for a slightly adapted version of John's first idea:
Adding a # failure-CODE line to any block that fails. That line is
ignored on export to PDF, but can still be counted in a final code block
that searches the buffer for matching regexps.


Thanks for your input.

Lennart.
