The reason Rudel uses the CEDET one vs the built-in Emacs one is that it needs a way to indicate that something is happening without knowing the overall percentage of the task that is actually complete. I believe this is commonly known as "pulsing" or a "spinner". We could probably implement this as an addition to the built-in progress reporter in subr.el; would this be a welcome feature? -Phil
