I'm happy to do something like this. Obviously we want a config, but
do we also want an env variable to control it? Could be useful.

And at the risk of killing it with feature creep, perhaps we could
have two levels of verbosity: progress (which repeatedly updates on
the same line) and notice (which does not). That might take care of
Jagannadha's use case also.
