Custom Report loading

[Jason Dunham]

Well I started with my own modified report with a new name, new labels, and
a new GUID.  When that didn't work, I just tried to load hello-world.scm
with no changes.  It doesn't seem to be loaded by default, so I don't
understand why it can't be loaded as is.  What's the point of shipping an
example which doesn't work unmodified?
