alternate output for progressmeter

Hi,

I used scp in some background process for transferring large files
which took some hours.
For this I needed a less fancy output, preferable parseble by a script,
so I could regularly see how far the transfer was

The adaptions I made to progressmeter.c and .h are underneath my mail as a patch

Some sample output how it looks now:
:~/src/openssh-5.3p1$ ./scp -l 60000 test.bin hans at localhost:.
progress test.bin :   0%    0     0.0KB/s   --:-- ETA
progress test.bin :   7% 7488KB   7.3MB/s   00:12 ETA
progress test.bin :  15%   14MB   7.3MB/s   00:11 ETA
..
progress test.bin :  98%   94MB   7.3MB/s   00:00 ETA
progress test.bin : 100%   95MB   7.3MB/s   00:13 done

With a simple script you can now easily control the output and save
the progress somewhere:

#!/bin/bash
# --- only update status every 10 seconds
statfn=scp1.status
refresh=10
no=0
./scp -l 60000 test.bin hans at localhost:. 2>&1|while read id fn sep
perc size speed estim eta
do
 ((state=no % refresh))
 [[ "$eta" = "done" || $state -eq 0 ]] && echo "`date +"%Y-%m-%d
%H:%M:%S"` $fn $perc $size $speed $estim $eta" >$statfn
 ((no=no+1))
done

The patch only adds this functionality as an option, default the
original layout is used.
Only when variable progresstype is set to nonzero this alternate
output is selected.
For selecting the alternate output it would only require some
commandline option in scp.c and do the isatty check only when
progresstype==0

Let me know your comments...
