"Generating List Cache" progress-bar only goes to ~60%

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When the "Generating List Cache" window is up and PeerBlock is merging
together all lists, a window pops up with a helpful progress bar to see how
much of it we've done.  The problem is, it chugs right along to about the
60% mark, then the window closes.

This can be confusing to users as they may think it didn't successfully
complete, and just looks generally sloppy.

Looks like this is due to Windows smoothing out the progress bar for you
(automatically).  We tell Windows to update the progress bar to 100%, and it 
somewhat
slowly updates the progress bar to move from e.g. 90% (or wherever we were 
last) to
100%.  The problem is, we're closing this window before Windows has a chance to 
make
it all the way to 100%!

The only way I can find to get the progress-bar to make it all the way to 100% 
is to
intentionally delay the window-close for a second.  (Actually, probably closer 
to 700
msec...)  I think that this light UI "glitch" is preferable to forcing the 
Generating
List Cache step to waste a second doing absolutely nothing, so am marking this 
issue
as "Won't Fix".

This problem will go away once we move the Generating List Cache step to a 
background
task, anyway...
