From 64c3c5394121ab9f5a93a8c6d2c48511ff720536 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthias Andree Date: Mon, 4 May 2009 21:52:32 +0000 Subject: Major progress ticker bugfix/overhaul. Progress tickers had been used inconsistently for a long time, and documentation was outdated, too. Factor out common code to ease maintenance, use the report_flush() function, and add and use a macro (want_progress()) to determine if progress ticker output is desired. This makes for a much more consistent look on screen and in logfiles and should be much easier to fix later on.
