progress_display

Would it be possible to get rid of the leading `\n` in
_os << "\n0%   10   20   30   40   50   60   70   80   90   100%\n"
in the progress_display. In some cases I do not want the newline.

Even better would be that the constructor would take three extra string 
arguments. The first string will be the leading string for the 
scale-numbers, the second the leading string for the scale, the third 
for the 'stars'.
Thus instead of the above, something like :

_os << lead1 << "0%   10   20   30   40   50   60   70   80   90   100%\n";
_os << lead2 << "|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|" << 
lead3 << std::endl;

with the constraint that lead1.lenth() == lead2.length() == 
lead3.length() of course.
This way, one could e.g. have following output :

energy remaining 0%   10   20   30   40   50   60   70   80   90   100%
  x 10KJ          |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|
