Sorry it took me so long to answer. Basically, yes, that is my guess, but that
is about step 3 from comment 22. We also (first?) need to do steps 1 and 2 from
comment 22. See also comment 24 and comment 26.

To summarise: the work is to add a property "AutoGrow" to every control. It
needs to be added to the control models and to the UI that allows to user to
set that property. Then, in RptExport::exportContainer, if any of the controls
of this row has "AutoGrow" set to true, then set the "automatic row height"
attribute" on the whole row.

Code pointers are in comment 22, except that in step 3, the code pointer is
probably wrong and should be replaced by what I say in comment 44. Steps 1 and
2 are still valid. Sorry for the mixup.
