I guess it would be better integrated by parts. That is, some API to get
the reports, generate them, etc, should be in libgda (replacing the
libgda-report part), then the GTK widget for vieweing/editing them
should be in libgnomedb, then, papyrus can just reuse that, or we can
include that code into mergeant.

What do you think about this way of integrating? Is it possible given
the current papyrus code?

Anyway, for the time being, I would import it into CVS in its current
form, so that we can start from there.

yeah, but the problem is that just a few people have those tools
installed, while everybody compiling on UNIX/Linux has the auto*. So,
even though not perfect, I would stick with the autotools.
