Hi, Orger friends.

When I execute org-publish-all, I would like to have some indication of
the progress, so I can follow what is going on.

The *Messages* buffer indeed gets crowded with many noisy lines, and I
can find hints about the project being processed though "Skipping
unmodified file SUCH-AND-SUCH" or "Loading .../PROJECT.cache" messages.
These lines may undoubtedly be useful when something goes wrong, but
otherwise, they just prevent the mini-buffer, say, to display some
clear "Publishing PROJECT..." message at the start of each project.

Such "Publishing PROJECT..." message would also be useful to me in
another way.  I'm using a script which launches "emacs -batch ... -f
org-publish-all" under the scene and filters its output to get rid of
all the noisy lines.  My hope is that errors, if any, will stand out.  I
could let such "Publishing" messages go through the filter, however.
Currently, I find that the script execution is a bit longish (I have a
few dozen projects), while being too silent.

I could probably manage with hooks of various kind and more
configuration to the org-publish-project-alist structure, but it would
look as overkill to me for getting such a benign feedback.
