* src/progress.c: Make the progress dialog actually work
and now uses g_io_channel. Woot! Need to be able to cancel
the dialog, which currently doesn't work too well.

+# most commond gdialog types to zenity equivalents. It will drop
+# the pointless and unused (even by gdialog!) size arguments
+# but hopefully will pass all the others.
+#
+# For testing purposes, I've used a couple of the nautilus scripts
+# available at http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net - what is sometimes
+# unclear is what is a gdialog/zenity translation problem, and what is
+# a problem with the script
