A progress indicatore when generating (e.g. Darkfish) would be nice....

Detailed description 
On the XP system here, running Rdoc lists the files, then says it is generating docs, but that then remains silent (at
least to the terminal).  It is difficult to see if it is dead or not, but waiting several minutes seems to be normal
on this machine, such that it never seems to finish.  I have always had to kill it so far <ctrl-c>.  This is with
2.4.3 under cygwin, if this should actually be regarded as a bug, but I can't be sure it is not working, so it may not
be a bug.  People have written "twirling cursor" \ | / - type progress things in Ruby in the past, maybe one
of those per file.
maybe listing <something> being generated...  even with -v it is very quiet
at this stage.  Thank you.

Found the reason this was taking so long.  rdoc was picking
up a directory, image, and find a .obj (Alias Wavefront style
object)

$ /bin/rm -rf ./doc

$ rdoc -a -d -F --op=doc .

With multiple images, on a slower machine, this took
forever.  This might be valid perl, but with no commas
it can't be passing numbers to V.
