  The report is completely generated from scratch
on every run, even though a significant fraction
of it doesn't change.  I suspect that the best
way to optimize it would be to make the report
generation more incremental.  (The old XSL scripts
did in fact work this way.  When I wrote boost_report,
I assumed that it didn't matter, since it took
less than 2 minutes at the time.)
