Bug Description
Since qemu-img convert is a long-running operation, it would be nice if it reported progress in response to control-T (SIGINFO) to show progress information, much like dd, fsck, dump, cp, etc.

That should be simple enough to implement considering we have this behavior already on SIGUSR1. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to test it because Linux apparently doesn't implement SIGINFO...

PS: By the way, thanks for the information. I didn't know about SIGINFO at all. Well, now I have mapped Ctrl-T to SIGUSR1 in my terminal emulator so I don't have to feel quite as inferior...
