Not sure if I ought to review a patch that I largely wrote, but I did
find some things I think should be done differently nowadays.

should_print should probably be a bool, throughout this patch.

I think s/notify/notifies/

This is probably fine but I suppose the meaning of "should_print" ought
to be described somewhere, since otherwise this could seem like a bug --
it is printing something even when should_print==false.

Tom> +  m_meters.push_back (meter);

std::move(meter) would be more efficient here, since it would avoid
another string copy.

Tom> +    progress_meter (struct ui_out *uiout, const std::string &name,
Tom> +		    int should_print)

Here's probably where should_print should be documented.

Just "()", not "(void)", now.

Here too.
