Works out better than either person working alone. It's nice to have
a collaborator. :)

After you merge, would you mind creating a new branch name from that
point, before continuing with the nar-maven part? I don't mind if it's
a new name for the nar-maven part, or you keep 'plugin' for that part
and use a new name to point to this reporting part.

I think the reporting part will be just about ready for a pull request
soon, so branching will allow us to do that while you continue with
the nar stuff.

I am still working on one more commit or so to get the relative links
between javadoc for different modules working right. (Javadoc seems to
have a misfeature that interferes; in the published docs on the site,
I only got it working by using absolute URLs instead, to the actual
tada.github.io site, but of course that makes them broken when testing
in a local staging directory, and makes it harder to one day support
publishing docs for > 1 PL/Java version. So I really want to solve
the relative-link problem.)
