For grins, I started with the FC 4 comps.xml, stripped out all the 
internationalized descriptions (just to make it readable / shorter -- they 
can be added back later), and made a comps for all the packages beginning 
with "a" from FE devel. See attached.

General rules I followed:

* didn't create any new groups
* only listed libraries that seemed reasonably general

Some observations:

* categorization takes longer than you'd expect ;-)
* there are some categories which seem overly broad; system-tools for 
example could be broken up more
* some stuff didn't fit any existing categories (allegro-tools, for one)

Thoughts?

later,
