That looks pretty cool, but a similar feature has been available in
the perl world for at least 3 years with Apache::UploadMeter.  I'll
admit is a bit of a hassle to use, and is not very flexible, but it
does a very similar thing in a popup window.  It even uses XML to
update the progress bar and renders the popup with an XSLT stylesheet.

I think it is long overdue for an update though!

Agreed.  It would be a very welcome addition...
