I was about to build off the tarball but a last minute flash came to me:
What about this "Graphical Installer"? I gave it try and have been sooo 
pleased by what I've seen I just had to report my sudden burst of happiness.
In my original post "progress bar" was a reference to XFce4's graphical 
installer. GKrellM won't tell me how far a 'make' process is on.

Im running GKrellM with "invisible" theme since day1. Its soooo fine and
it wont bug down the whole system even when set for 20 updates per seconds.

Actually, this sole screenshot stole my heart:
