No I don't need TFpGuiWSProgressBar.SetPosition(), because of the weird
TProgressBar design, where every property change goes via
ApplyUpdates(). I just implemented it because it was a blank virtual
method from a base class.

But this raises the other question. Why is TCustomProgressBar
implemented so different and inefficient.... every property change going
through TCustomProgressBar.ApplyUpdates. I say inefficient, because now
all the backend widgetsets must check and set all properties of the
ProgressBar widget, even if only a single property value has changed.

I ran git-blame to see when it was introduced, and by whom. But the code
predates the SubVersion repository.
