RHEL 5 yum group installation options not working

The problem is that RHN doesn't provide any group information for RHEL-5.
It makes the pirut experience pretty worthless as well.  I'm not sure why
they chose to remove the comps information from RHN channels but it seems
premature.  At least until optional requirements make their way into RPM
proper.
