Sorry, yes I've been going on the beta. In the beta, it is a group
defined in the comps.xml file.

Actually, I don't expect much changes in other groups, though rerunning
the build tools will be needed to verify.  I've got a script that can
track package/group requirements based solely on the comps.xml file.

My wife, however, is cracking the ol' whip and I need to get some sleep
in. I'll have the changed comps.xml file tomorrow. And hopefully, a
(cgi) script that lets you click through groups, etc..

Cheers,
Bill
