Radim,
This sounds like a very nice idea.

3. all modules I tried in 5.7 display this instead of percents only:
Percent complete: 2% 5% 8% (...) 100%On my computer, it goes:
Percent complete: 2%/b/b/b/b5%/b/b/b and so forth...most of the time.
Other times, it stops after a few increments, then does nothing until
100%To fix this basically we need a G_is_ui() function which could be called
in G_percent():printf("%3d%%", percent_done);
if( G_is_ui() )
printf("\n"); // newline
else
printf("\b\b\b\b"); // 4x backspaceseasier said than done though.
I think that we should define format of messages printed
when module is run from GUI. For example
PERCENT: %d
which can be parsed by GUI and displayed in progress bar.The format could be switched on by enviroment variable.
