[osflash] "splitting" the load percentage feedback in different stages

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

@David: Thanks for the enlightment! This was just what I needed... as you
said - some basic algebra, but with deadlines pressures it´s often hard to
think clearly, specially on subjects you don´t master, that´s my case with
math... I´m doing my best to overcome this limitation though =)

@Zárate: I guess I can easily adapt the code to show the % of the bytes
loaded :) And yes, this msg would fit better in the flashcoders list... I
will keep this in mind on my next posts!

Cheers,

Marcelo.
