Subject: [xml2rfc] xml2rfc progress indication

One gripe I had with the xml2rfc tool is that it is so silent.
On long IDs it is hard to know if is running and how far it has progressed.

I made a small change to xml2rfc.tcl version 1.34.
Between lines 9897 and 9898 I added code to print the output page on the title bar.
The code now reads :
    set text [format "\[Page %d\]" $pageno]
    wm title . $text ; update
    incr pageno

While running I now see (after a relatively short period of inactivity)
the title bar running twice through the page numbers.

Not elegant, but good enough.

Thanks to Ilya Ginzburg, my resident tcl wizard.
