Overview

The David Gallagher feature: a fake sub task to keep the progress bar movin for external jobs note: param could be a subtask

usage (for a call that is normally finished in under 60 seconds):

fsk = FakeSubTask.new(task, 60)
external_lib_call.start
external_lib_call.wait_until_finished
fsk.finished

what happens: the FakeSubTask updates the task.progress each second until runtime is up or the finished mehtod is called

example if the param runtime is too low:

25% .. 50% .. 75% .. 100% .. 100% .. 100% .. 100% .. 100%

example if the param runtime is too high:

5% .. 10% .. 15% ..  20% ..  25% ..  30% ..  35% .. 100%

the latter example is better (keep the bar movin!) -> better make a conservative runtime estimate
