[Nottingham] cp and a progress/working indicator

[Jason Irwin]

This is a trivial question and it's probably in the man pages, but I
can't see it.

Does "cp" have a progress option?  Like "rsync" does?
I know about "-v", which is handy but on big files I have no idea if
it's working or hung (I am haunted by the Windows demons that tell me;
no output = yer request is screwed, pal).
Doesn't have to be a % indicator or anything...just some clue that
things are indeed working.
Or is there some trick I could use to get one?  Somehow pipe "cp"
through something.

Normally I use "rsync" but as these files were just going on to a USB,
seemed a bit overkill.
