## Return a handle @var{h} to a new waitbar object.
##
## The waitbar is 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.
