Add an on-screen percentage based on the -exitafter time given

Thanks for creating such a handy little tool. It would be great if a percentage could be shown on the screen that correlated with the time given in the -e or -exitafter switches, so that the percentage complete was calculated based on the remaining time until the process will stop.

Maybe it can use a fixed row at the bottom of the terminal, with the output continuing above it?

Yeah, that sounds pretty cool. Gotta see how to do that in the web version.

Glad you're considering it, and I hope you can find a way to make it work for the web version too.
