Rollup resource usage by summary task

[breed_ohio]

How can I produce a report or view that sums up resource
usage/work by summary task. For proposals and for
accounting I need to rollup total hours PER resource per
summary task. For instance I have a project plan with
four summary tasks, Envisioning, Planning, Programming
and Stabilization, each with a number of subtasks and
multiple resouces assigned. In a report I need to
indicate how many hours for team lead are in each of the
summary tasks, and likewise for programmer1, p2, project
manager, etc. I also need to produce cost by resource by
summary task as well.
I would really like to define a canned report that I can
run each time I make a change to a project or develop a
new on. I spend way too much time doing this work with a
calculater. Help!
