Controlling a persistent progress bar

Command line options of the ppbS program are used to control a ppb. Every manner of control over a ppb is managed through a verb and verb arguments. You can have any number of verbs in the command line.

N is the ppb window number.

The ppb will increment one percent every M / (crawl range) milliseconds.

M < 500 is not recommended.
