Ah ... now I see why there is a bit of confusion here.  It is because
'verbose' is not being used consistantly.  The progress indicator
within 'avr_write()' is used for parallel port type programmers, while
there is also an identical one coded that the stk500 programmer code
displays.  The one within the stk500.c page write routine is
controlled by the global variable 'verbose', while the one inside
'avr_write()' is controlled by the local 'verbose' variable.  It's
been so long since I've used a parallel port connected programmer,
that I was unaware of this inconsistancy.
