And yet another one (which I used for one project): Detach the process from
the Apache cgi (no don't use fork inside your script) and have the process
do its work in the background outputting progress information into a know
location. Have your web-page reload every minute or less, read the progress
information and display it to the user. If your script finally completes
the report have the next reload report the information.
