Description

ATM surefire executes tests but for big suites no way to know where we are in the execution exactly. What about adding a kind of line prefix showing it:

[124/1254] normal output 
[124/1254] another normal output 
[126/1254] another normal output after 2 tests finished
...

This would at least allow to know where we are. Idea would be to have a counter in the "executor" and just show it when there is something on stdout/stderr.

Of course it will require a new configuration flag to activate it.
