Depends on the type of progress.  For prime generation we can't do any
estimation. 

f you are processing files and pipe them to gpg (as gpgme does) it is
also not possible to compute a percentage.  However we have a sulution:
gpg has the option --input-size-hint which is used by
gpgme_data_set_flag()'s "size-hint".
