 * The calling GUI code does this:
 *
 * static ProgressMeterDialogBoxClass* p = 0;
 * static wxFrame* me = 0;
 * void prog_start_fcn(char *label, int range) { p = new ProgressMeterDialogBoxClass(me, "label", range); }
 * void prog_incremental_fcn(int increment) { p->DidSomeMore(increment); }
 * void prog_set_value_fcn(int value) { p->SetValue(value); }
 * void prog_end_fcn(void) { delete(p); }
 *
 *
 * The called, time-intensive prototdb functions call these like:
 *
 * void load_db(MyProgressCallbackStartFunction *prog_start_fcnp,
 *      MyProgressCallbackSetValueFunction *prog_set_value_fcnp,
 *      MyProgressCallbackIncrementalProgressFunction *prog_incremental_fcnp,
 *           MyProgressCallbackEndFunction *prog_end_fcnp)
 * {
 *    (*prog_start_fcnp)("Loading database", 10000);
 *
 *    for (int i=0; i<10000; i++)
 *      {
 *   (*prog_set_value_fcnp)(i); // This, or...
 *        (*prog_incremental_fcnp)(1); // this. 
 *      }
 *    (*prog_end_fcnp)();
 * }  
 *
 * Or, if you can live with the restrictions, inherit CanPopUpProgressMeter class.
