How to modify a report with a module?

Question

I'm adding a feature to quotations and sale orders to add /related products/.

I want those to appear in the PDF report. I know how to do so with OpenOffice, but *how can I modify the report just by installing the module?*

That way no extra configuration will be needed.

Thanks.

I am using OpenERP 6.1. In this version I think you can not update report (sxw) by updating the related module (via --init or --update). If you have several database to update, this is what I will do :

save updated sxw file
use xmlrpc to object and call execute with model: ir.actions.report.xml and method: upload_method. This is the same method that is used by OpenERP Report Designer.
