I envision having a `reports' directory under .gnucash were there is 
one set of parameters per file.

Cool :)  Do you have any pointers to where I should look to see what 
has been done so far?

I haven't had any luck with accessing the archives via the gnucash.org
web site.  The "Mailing List-Archives" link goes to a non-functional
search form (I get "There was an error executing this query. Please try
later." when I try to search for anything).  Is there anywhere else I 
could go to get access to the ML archives?
