Status updates when loading files (e.g. progress bar)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

describe current behaviour:

nothing is really "wrong" everything works perfectly.
When importing or processing massive DXFs (several hundred shapes) software 
appears to hang when it is just really busy.

how should it be changed?
progress bar would be awesome.

I really like this idea, but some sort of status updates will reduce the speed 
even more...
At the moment I would say: run the big files in the no console mode - this will 
differ A LOT.

But I will take a look at it. If somebody else knows a nice idea.... Let me 
know.

Well yes and no.
For the version on the svn I have added a wait cursor. For my own (test) 
version I have rewritten the import file as a QThread and do make use of a real 
progress bar. The only problem I still face: knowing how many actions it's 
going to perform... We don't really read this beforehand. So I still need to 
come up with some proper expectation.
