I was hoping for something that just said which plugin you were
currently in, rather than a progress bar. So if I'm sitting at the
console for 20 minutes and I press the space bar then I know it's XYZ
plugin that is taking forever so I can run the scan again without it.

Also, I'm getting crashes on xUrllib during discovery, probably
related to the crawler. In this particular instance I was trying to
crawl a forum and it probably tried getting each forum thread (ever)
:-(.
