Right, I've been calling these 'instantiated' reports. The infrastructure
for saving the parameters is there; we just need to add a way to save
information associated with a gnucash data file. We also need a way to
refer to accounts in a unique, non-volatile way (fully-qualified account
names are guaranteed unique and can change). These things will be done
soon, but will take a bit of time since they involve changing file
formats and stuff.
