Yes, that's part of the plan, once a useful set of utilities emerges. 
Should they go into a separate file, such as 'eguile-utilities.scm'?  In 
fact, there could be more than one set: 'eguile-html-utilities.scm', 
'eguile-accrec-utilities.scm' etc.  Where should such files go? -- in 
/src/report/report-system?
