[PATCH] cp/mv display progress

[Benjamin Schieder]

Hi.

I frequently move large files from one disk to another and I wanted to see how
much was copied already.
Some friends of mine also wanted this feature and urged me to send the patch
here.

Brief description:

# cp -D large_file /another/disk

`large_file':   1% copied\r`large_file':   2% copied\r
and so on until
`large_file':  99% copied\r`large_file': 100% copied\n

This -D argument works with cp and mv using the attached patch.

Regards,
        Benjamin
