Description:
Using Repair Table and myisamchk, we would like to see, in which state the process is.
So we can estimate the duration/progress of the task.

This looks similar to WL available here;
http://forge.mysql.com/worklog/task.php?id=4170

Showing progress for long processes would be handy and show that long running processes are still working correctly.

How to repeat:
Run REPAIR table on a large table and guess how long it might have.

Suggested fix:
Show what the process is doing, and if its effecting rows, what number of how many are done.
