RFC: Creating meta group packages via comps

Hi,

It should be really easy to make a script that builds metagroup
packages from comps, no?

This will allow someone to install a group such as kde/gnome as an rpm
package and when packages are removed/added/changed in the comps
groups, the meta group package also changes, and the user gets the
appropriate changes.

I don't think this is possible now with the groupinstall feature in
yum which IMO is a bad feature since it should be done with meta group
packages as I describe.

Comments?
