If you set post_max_size to 0, you can parse the post data yourself from 
php://input. Combine that with the Content-Length value from 
apache_request_headers() and you have everything you need for a progress 
monitor.

I don't mean to detract from the hopefully soon-to-come support in the 
core, just to point out that it's already possible without a patch.

I have some code using this method in case anyone's interested, email me 
off-list.
