Readout for gridsearch #144

Not so much of an issue, as a request. Could you have simtoi output to the screen which parameters it is currently on a gridsearch? It would allow a user to know a) if the search is working, and b) approximately how much time is remaining.

Writing to the console is very, very slow compared to the rest of the operations so it would likely drag down the performance considerably. In #80 Fabien suggested we add a percent complete bar to the main GUI for the gridsearch engine... this is probably a better way of accomplishing the same task.

In the mean time, I'll have the top-level parameter print out a status update.

I wouldn't completely rule out the console. We can precompute the number of iterations, so maybe we could only print every 5% or so (starting with 0% so that user knows something is happening).
