FYI,
I grabbed the "pv" package from Debian testing and I stripped out the documentation and left the executable and license file and tar.gz'ed it up.
Without stripping the binary or recompiling, the compressed filesize was 17KB so it really is a tiny addition to the distro that would give the script writer the ability to develop progress bars for any data transfer task that can be re-routed through a pipe before going to it's final resting place.
