## filled to fraction @var{frac} which must be in the range [0, 1].  The
## optional message @var{msg} is centered and displayed above the waitbar.
## The appearance of the waitbar figure window can be configured by passing 
## property/value pairs to the function.
## 
## When called with a single input the current waitbar, if it exists, is
## updated to the new value @var{frac}.  If there are multiple outstanding
## waitbars they can be updated individually by passing the handle @var{hwbar}
## of the specific waitbar to modify.
