[Dart] compile output

[Blezek, Daniel J (CRD)]

In the sweeping changes that I plan to check in later today, I added a progress meter to the
Build.tcl step.  Rather than spit out the build log (which I think is irrelevant), a series of dots
sweep across the screen indicating how much of the build log has been generated.

Per your suggestion: It would require a lot more work to determine when each file has been compiled
in a platform independant way.  I know that the Microsoft compile currently puts a nice line at the
beginning of each step, and CMake could write makefiles the same way, but I would rather have a look
at the build log directly, and keep Dart's output limited to status/progress information.

What do you think?
