[TYPO3-dev] Show progress in backend module => solved

[Michael Oehlhof]

Many thanks for the ideas and examples.

Because the extension is for a one time migration,
I decided to get the simplest way and use the technic of the old EM.
FLushing the continuous output and update a summary on top of the page 
with JavaScript.

Regards
Michael
