Should display progress output "as it happens" #20

Right now while cabal install is busy installing dependency packages, there is no output from cabal-meta until everything is done. I suggest de-buffering that output and showing the results as they occur.

I see progressive output on Linux. What OS are you using?

Mostly this happens for me on Mac OS X. I run "cabal-meta --dev install", which takes up to 5 minutes, and during most of that time I see no output at all. However, if I Ctrl-C, I suddenly see all the output I wasn't being shown.
