[packagekit] Categories/Groups in yum on a Fedora system

I have made a little backend util to dump the categories/groups from a 
fedora rawhide system.

Some of the categories/group is easy to match to pk groups, but other 
are much harder.

As far is i see it we should add an extra level to the pk groups to make 
it easier to find the packages for the users.

Example:
Programming
      kde-software-development
       gnome-software-development
       development-tools
       eclipse
       development-libs
       x-software-development
       web-development
       legacy-software-development
       ruby
       java-development
       xfce-software-development

is much better
than just 'programming' with a lot of packages.

How do we do this in a smart way.

Tim
