I see you beat me to it on this one.

How about something like the following:

echo "Press any key within 15 seconds to pause the build..."
read -s -t 15 -n 1 PAUSE
if [ -n "$PAUSE" ]; then
        echo "Press any key to continue..."
        read -s -n 1
fi

You still get the automated ability with the 15 second timeout, but someone that actually wants to stop and read can 'pause' the progress, then get it going again.
