Hello ! I read this just now. Report generation, moving transactions according to name criteria are all things that can quite easily be done with the python- bindings. They're actually quite a source of joy ;-) Momentarily you just have to fall in love with svn, too and build gnucash from source - which is actually not too difficult.
