This is just a smallish app for internal use by 1-2 people, so
I probably can't justify spending much cash.  I'll check on the
ReportLab pricing. By the time I figure out how to bundle
Ghostscript with py2exe, it will probably have been cheaper to
pay for a copy of ReportLab.  But it's usually easier to spend
a week of engineering time that it is to spend $1000.
