I should've clarified this a bit further. I am not really trying to get a 'real' progress bar, but rather a spinning barber pole. Since the operation is gonna take less than 10 seconds it doesn't really need to show the actual progress, but I want something to show the user that stuff is indeed happening.

What this really breaks down to is processes. How can I call a handler and yet have the main script continue on it's merry way... and then stop the handler when the main script is finished?
