Add a progress bar dialog with a cancel button

Currently, you can't cancel an ongoing lookup. You can only stop it by refreshing the browser page, but that's not obvious. Better would be to have a typical progress bar dialog and add a cancel button that the user could click to stop things deliberately.
The following resources and examples might be useful when implementing this:

With the recent rewrite of Boffo to make it extremely fast, this feature is no longer a priority. I'm downgrading it.
