Yes, I'm aware of that code since it already appeared on this list
more than 1 year ago [1].
By the way, It seems a bit overkill to me, I'd rather have a less
featured yet well integrated progress indicator.
My major concern about that code is that we still need to add an
activation threshold.

It would be great to know what was wrong in [1].

Cheers,
Stefano
