Generate a comprehensive PDF-based Area Report

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A comprehensive Area Report is likely to be one of the most powerful/useful 
things that we could currently produce. Such as report is beyond the current 
on-screen report that we currently produce. 

We have a lot of information about areas (and this is increasing), so it is 
vital that we integrate this information into a comprehensive PDF-based report 
that could be used for

1. Environmental impact assessment
2. Regional, local planning
3. Environmental management and remediation
4. Identifying gaps in ALA data
5. Research
6. State of the Environment Reporting
7. Environmental monitoring

The attached file is a mock-up of such a report. It has been produced after 
discussion with Linda and Natasha. Some components may take time to produce so 
some form of background and notification strategy may be required. I would 
anticipate that users will however wait for 5 minutes or so as long as they get 
feedback on what is happening. Even "Step 1/20..step 2/20 etc.

Assigning to me for now. We need to work out priorities across the board.
