[CMake] Tracking progress of CMake TAR

[Eric Noulard]

I guess he is using

cmake -E tar

may be using 'v' verbose option from tar  should be enough.

i.e.
cmake -E tar xvz your-archive.tar.gz

It should display file names as they come out of the archive.
So unless your very big archive only contains relatively big files, the
output should evolve quite often.
