I don't have a problem with adding something like that if it isn't too
intrusive. We once had a RFC patch which changed the MESSAGE macro to
also output to the xterm title. I guess we could estimate the progress
by counting the number of times E.G. the extract target has been run
divided by $(words $(TARGETS)).
