I've started a potential and currently sketchy implementation here: 
https://github.com/mmontone/emacs-progress-bar/tree/progress-model 
(progress-model git branch).

It works by separating a model for progress (that I could rename to 
progress-report), and a progress-displayer.

The progress takes care of progress status and triggering of update 
events, is unaware of progress display.

The progress displayer listens to those events and displays the progress 
in some way.

I've implemented four displayers, three that work in the echo area, 
including a progress bar. And one that displays progress in the 
modeline, using svg animations.

To see this in action, load progress.el and progress-displayer.el, then 
evaluate forms in progress-examples.el.

I'd be glad if someone can have a look and give me an opinion, and if 
there's potential to integrate to Emacs after I improve it, make it 
solid, and provide a backwards compatible interface for current Emacs' 
progress-report.

Thanks!
