Some of the ground-work has been laid to allow this, but there's still
more to do before it's feasible.  We now use SWIG, so it should be relatively
easy to generate python (or other language) bindings for all the C code used
in report-generation.  However, there's a bit of scheme code still pretty
intimately involved in the process right now.  I think that Josh is viewing
changing that as a medium-term project.
