[PATCH] Budget report improvements (was Re: Budget reports)

[C. Ernst]

Hi Forest,

your patch seems to be good work and gives a new structure for future
progress :-)

Just note that your patch should maybe include adding the new reports to the
Makefile? Like this:
Index: src/report/standard-reports/Makefile.am
===================================================================
--- src/report/standard-reports/Makefile.am     (revision 17796)
+++ src/report/standard-reports/Makefile.am     (working copy)

+   budget-income-statement.scm \
+   cash-flow.scm \
    category-barchart.scm \
    daily-reports.scm \
    equity-statement.scm \

Also just a hint to anybody who tries your patch on Windows: You should
always make clean in build/src/report or at least remove any ".scm-links"
file after modifying scm reports. (On msys "ln -s" seems to be replaced by
"cp -p" in the Makefiles. Thus report directories from the source are copied
to the build dir and not linked. They are not copied again as long
.scm-links exists.)

Best wishes
  Christoph
