I think it makes sense to eliminate (by default) most of those messages
except for percent complete, and to report the latter using the standard
Emacs progress-reporter mechanism.

If anyone wants to improve the progress reporter, feel free. One idea
I've had is for it to use the background of the echo area as a progress
bar (this will need some redisplay hacking, of course).
