Yes, I was thinking of something similar. That will require some significant overhaul of the build system, though, including bjam, I think.
I think the revolving dash would be good enough until this will be done.
This is something to be used by developers. They have an idea of how long it takes to compile a bunch of cpp files and put them into a library and won't get nervous if the tool just eats up CPU time without emitting something for a few minutes.
True. Unless they're not used to compiling template-heavy code ;-)
