Feature Request: Indicator of Motion being captured

Description

Add code to motion that would indicate it is capturing motion. along the lines of locate but instead of drawing a box around what triggered the event maybe have a character ie. green M to indicate that Motion has detected an event. This could be configured via the motion.conf

For jpegs and mpegs you only have pictures/movies saved when motion is detected so I do not see what extra information that will give. The green M would always be there. For the webcam stream it could make sense. But here you can turn on the 'text_changes' option which shows 0 when no motion is detected and the number of detected motion pixels when motion is detected. So I guess the function you need is there already.
