Backup restoration fails #8

I figured out the problem was that the spawn progress window logic was messed up. It was asking for async mode to let the program run on, but it wanted to show progress, so it had to wait until the program was finished. These are conflicting instructions that were set in a helper function called gwrappers.cpp::GwSpawn::progress. The logic inside of gwrappers.cpp GwSpawn::run (WIN32 version of the function) would try to grab the return value of an async thread before the thread was finished. As a result, it would cut off the tar unpack function at some time shortly after it started. I re-did the logic there, and it seems better.
