=head1 ABSTRACT
 
This is a simple module that helps manage one of those silly spinning
bar things that some programs use when they want you to think they
are busy.
 
=head1 DESCRIPTION
 
Some programs take a long time to do some functions.  Sometimes
people are get confused about what is happening and start pressing
buttons in an effort to illicit some response while a program is
taking a long time.  Strangely enough if the program gives the
person using it something to watch while it is busy with other work
the person is much more likely to leave the program alone so that
can finish its work.
