New groups in comps for F19

[Jan Zelený]

Hi guys,
as per [1], I'd like to propose some patches for F19 comps. These patches are 
splitting group called Development Tools into several smaller groups. The 
purpose of this email is to find out if there is something fundamentally wrong 
with the change (except for the fact that it is change).

These are key points about the patch set:
1. There should be only small visible impact to users. Currently the only tool 
that is commonly using comps is anaconda and that uses the "Developer 
workstation" environment. This group will contain all groups that were created 
by the split to ensure maximal similarity to the old state of things.

2. All in all, the Development Tools group needed a huge cleanup, as it 
contained a lot of different tools and/or devel packages but many times these 
were only fractions of development environments necessary for the particular 
purpose. These tools are mostly still avaiable in other groups, like C 
development, Electronic Lab, ...

3. The current idea for Developer Tools group is to contain just tools that 
are common/usable for development of most programming languages

4. This should bring only the "big picture change". No need to discuss what 
particular packages should be in which group. That can be tuned any time 
later.

5. More groups targeted at specific areas should be created and/or reviewed 
soon-ish. Among them:
Perl Development
Python Development
Ruby Development
feel free to suggest more development-related areas that you would like to 
improve.

The goal of this effort is to start a process which would lead to more usable 
comps, so users will be able (and more importantly encouraged) to simply use 
for example yum to install these environments. By that time, these 
environments should be cleaned up, in case user wants to install just specific 
type of devel env, not the entire "Developer Workstation"
