    New filter program: 'noprogress'.
    
    The idea was that I could use this to pipe my 'ninja' build output to
    'less' and not lose the colourised compiler diagnostics. Unfortunately
    I realised, as soon as I came to test it on a live example, that
    ninja's own terminal-device gymnastics have already suppressed the
    default colourised compiler diagnostics before this program gets to do
    anything. So it's not actually useful for what I hoped it would be -
    you might as well just pipe ninja's output directly to less without
    putting this business in between.
    
    But it may come in useful for something else, so I'll keep it for the
    moment.
