A nit, but when processing hundreds/thousands of files, -progress puts out a lot of lines.
Allow setting "progress every X files"
Maybe -progressNUM where X = NUM
or -progress(1,2,3) where X = 10, 100, 1000
Interesting idea. Possible. I'll think about it.

This turned out to be very tricky, but it will be implemented in version 12.57.
The complication is due to the fact that messages aren't printed for files that fail the -if condition (if used), so it can't just print every Nth progress message. It should print only 1 message for every N files processed tested with -if condition, which is actually a bit tricky to implement because the -if preprocessor needs to get feedback from the back end processor (at least I couldn't think of a better way to do this).

Version 12.57 is now available.
