Not too long ago I was looking at patching gparted to support this and
while it did not seem difficult to process the output of the e2fsprogs
utilities for the progress information, I was wondering why the
various fs utilities don't already have a flag to generate machine
readable output... and I think some of the utilities supported this,
and some did not, even within e2fsprogs.
IIRC, I found that at least some of them already have a flag to write
output to a specified auxiliary fd to indicate progress, it just
seemed that a standard needed decided on and implemented in all of them.
