Feature request: systray icon during download and mxf import

Hi!

EPG123 has been running perfectly since I installed it 3 months ago...very happy with it!

This morning I was tinkering with the PC just before its usual automatic scheduled update.
I didn't want to do anything on the PC that might interfere with the update or mxf import,
so I waited.

I knew when the download would start, but I didn't know exactly when the mxf import
was competed. I waited a few minutes, then checked the log to make sure the import
was done.

Before installing EPG123, a green orb media center icon would appear in the systray
while the guide was updating.

Maybe a nice feature would be a systray icon showing that epg123 is busy downloading
or importing (and the icon goes away when epg123 is not busy).

Thanks again for a terrific program!

I've actually been trying to work on this some. I consider it necessary now that the client can actually be waiting for up to 5 hours while recordings are active.

There's just some things I need to be aware of such as when it runs while noone is logged in.
