When time is right to rework the report system, this will certainly be 
considered. It won't make it in the 2.8 development cycle though due to lack 
of time.

Well at some point this knowledge will certainly come in handy. Earlier 
discussions on the future of gnucash tentatively settled on exactly one of 
those two gui toolkits to go with the c++ rewrite. Again this will not make it 
for the 2.8 development cycle but it will most likely somewhere in the future.
