Plugin causes Blender to freeze while performing erosions #2

This is a carry over issue with A.N.T. Landscape, but one that should be fixed. If you choose an excessive setting for erosion Blender can freeze for a couple of minutes. We should look to see if there is a Blender hook that lets Blender continue to function while the operation is being performed.

If at all possible create a dialog box with a progress bar with buttons that say Cancel and Complete Early, where Cancel throws away all effort and Complete Early finishes whatever cycle it is on and then ends before continuing. Perhaps the progress bar cannot be fine tuned to show progress for each operation, but erosion is a iterative process so we should be able to indicate we've completed 50% based on total iterations left, and river iterations, avalanche iterations, etc.
