I see what you mean, but that's quite a hack.  What about having setup
display some progress indication based on the amount of console output
that is printed?

How can setup display any meaningful progress, without knowing an upper bound?

In the case of my suggestion, setup does know an upper bound, because it knows the number of scripts it plans to run.
