Hi,

can't the necessary binding for setgroups() be added to mldonkey or some
library other than the standard Unix lib? I think this would be easy and
provide a workaround for this issue, which wouldn't need an addition to
the standard library (although I agree that setgroups() has its place in
the stdlib, since getgroups() is already there).
