without looking at any of the code of the package, the precise list of 
applications where the package will run to me reads like it needed special 
implementation to reach that goal. so it probably checks its environment to 
decide which implementation to use, and doesn't find one for RKWard.

just a hunch.

FWIW, it's not that RKWard is incapable of showing progress bars -- 
utils::txtProgressBar() works well[*]. the progress package seems to demand 
some special treatment. if my hunch goes in the right direction, it's probably 
something the package authors need to fix, not us.

[*] @thomas: we could actually capture that and replace it by a GUI progress 
bar instead of the R console, couldn't we?
