I'll be going for

    Rendering frame 1 of 20 (#11)

Also, while I'm at it, if you use `Frame_Skip=2` (or whatever), it will
no longer go

    Rendering 1 of 20
    Rendering 3 of 20
    Rendering 5 of 20
    ...

but

    Rendering 1 of 10 (#11)
    Rendering 2 of 10 (#13)
    Rendering 3 of 10 (#15)
    ...

I think this most concisely reports the key pieces of information you
(well, a typical user at any rate) might be interested in while
rendering an animation:

- How is work progressing?
- What's the total workload?
- Which particular frame is currently being worked on?


(As a matter of fact, a corresponding new version can already be found
at https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/releases/tag/v3.7.1-alpha.8586521)
