Description

Grape is a great System... but there is one point that is somehow annoying.
When you download Grapes with huge dependencies it will take some time.
From the user perspective it seems like the application is crashed.

Is it possible to inject a Closure into Grape that gives information about the downloading state?

Like:

@GrabFeedback({percentage -> println "${percentage}% downloaded"})

This Problem also affects the Eclipse plugin. When you clear the grape cache and you restart the Eclipse, it may take minutes until eclipse becomes responsive.
