Mark certain output from jobs as "dead ends" which should not proceed further #71

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Often 0-length files or known errors do not need to be taken any further. At 
the moment, they cause a Ruffus pipeline to stall.

Can we handle this by returning something from the function? How would reruns 
of the pipeline know which files were legitimately ignored and which are really 
missing?
