Is there an api in kplato for accessing the data?  we may need some kind of 
wrapper in reports to present a suitable interface before we get a proper 
solution in predicate.

the designer is in kexi/plugins/reportspgz/backend/wrtembed and it provides a 
widget (ReportDesigner)

the renderer is in backend/renderer, and provides a pre-renderer, and 4 post-
renderers, screen/print/ods and html.
