Derek,

That's a fair point. I have reverted most of the commit that removes the 
book parameter and instead corrected gnc:company-info to require it 
(gnc:company-info was introduced by John during his kvp rewrite).

I occurred to me though that the issue is much more fundamental than 
that. I haven't found a universal way to tie a report to a book. It'd 
have expected the options database to be able to tell what book it 
belongs to, but at present it doesn't.

So for now I have had to resort to (gnc-get-current-book) for a number 
of reports instead of being able to extract the real book from one or 
the other parameter. This will have to be revisited if/when we will 
actually implement a multiple files open interface.
