    I suppose maybe I wasn't clear enough then.  I wasn't looking for 
timing information, but rather an approximate percentage towards 
completion.  This seems quite possible (keep track of how many subtrees 
left to process, whatever), though I don't know enough about the 
compiler internals to say how well such a thing would integrate.
